A 37-year-old Lodi man injured in a hit-and-run accident while crossing Market Street early Friday died in Hackensack Medical Center of multiple head injuries, a hospital spokeswoman said. Gary Merlo of Vreeland Avenue, Lodi, died at noon Saturday, the spokeswoman said.
A Saddle Brook police dispatcher Saturday confirmed the accident at the corner of Market Street and Rosemont Avenue sometime after midnight Friday, but said no more information was immediately available.
Bill Ramirez, Merlo’s brother-in-law, said witnesses at a nearby bar saw a jeeplike truck or four-wheel-drive vehicle hit Merlo as he crossed the street after leaving a nearby diner.
