New Jersey State Police say it happened on March 7 in East Windsor. They say 39-year-old Steven Bradshaw, of Audubon, died from the injuries he sustained in the incident.

No other injuries were reported. It was not immediately known what type of object hit the car.

The incident is under investigation.
