The driver, a 38-year-old Trenton, N.J., man, was struck while outside of the car by a Lexus ES3 (sedan) driven by a 30-year-old Trenton, N.J, resident.

The man suffered critical injuries and was taken to Capitol Health Trenton, where he later died, police said.

The Lexus driver did not seek medical treatment. The passenger of the Cadillac was treated for some minor injuries.

It is not known at this time if alcohol or drugs factored into this crash, police said.
