Officials say Steven was in a medically induced coma at Morristown Medical Center since being hit by a driver more than a week ago on Route 46 in Rockaway.

Steven was leaving a high school football game back on Sept. 13 at Morris Knolls High School.

The Dover High School track and field program tweeted the news of his death as well.

Academy Street School, where Steven's younger sister attended, will also have counselors on hand.

Funeral arrangements were not immediately available.

The Rockaway Police Department has yet to release an accident report.
