(Updated) A 29-year-old pedestrian named Juan Kortright died Monday from injuries he suffered after getting struck by a car on Foxon Boulevard on March 26.
The city’s police department posted news of Kortright’s death on the social media site X on Monday afternoon.
The New Haven Police Department (NHPD) first announced on X last Thursday that a pedestrian had suffered life-threatening injuries after being struck by a car on the 400 block of Foxon Boulevard at around 10:29 p.m. last Wednesday.
Upon arrival, officers located the pedestrian, who was being treated by Fire Department personnel, and spoke with the driver, who remained at the scene. The pedestrian — later identified as Kortright, of New Haven — was transported to Yale New Haven Hospital with life-threatening injuries.
An initial police investigation showed that the car hit the pedestrian while the victim was crossing the street, though not at a crosswalk, according to last Thursday’s post.
The Crash Reconstruction Unit responded to investigate further. Police ask anyone who might have witnessed the event or have any relevant information to call detectives at 203 – 946-6304, or through the department’s anonymous tip line at 866 – 888-TIPS (8477).
