According to Middlesex County Prosecutor Yolanda Ciccone and New Brunswick Police Chief Vincent Sabo, a drunk motorist struck a 25-year-old man late on Sunday night in New Brunswick. The driver left the scene but was later taken into custody.
At 1:24 a.m. on Monday, the automobile struck the young guy on the 100 block of Jersey Avenue. There was a report of a hit-and-run pedestrian, so police were contacted. Police found the young man, who was critically hurt, when they arrived. (He is not a student at Rutgers.)

The young man was struck on Jersey Avenue by a vehicle driven by Abel Bustos-Medel, 31, of New Brunswick, according to the police, who then left the scene. Later, the vehicle was seen with damage consistent with a pedestrian collision on Livingston Avenue.
