A Somerset County man has died from injuries he sustained when a deer he struck crashed through his windshield.

Authorities say the deer was crossing South Middlebush Road in Franklin Township when 63-year-old Mark Rodgers hit it around 5:30 p.m. Friday. The deer then went through the windshield and landed in the vehicle's back seat.

Rodgers, of Somerset, had been hospitalized in critical condition before he died Tuesday afternoon.

No one else was in the vehicle at the time. No other injuries were reported in the accident.

South Middlebush Road was closed for several hours after the crash.
