Gerard Calcagno Death – Officials have identified a Bloomfield resident as the pedestrian who tragically lost his life after being struck by a vehicle last week on Route 46 in Parsippany.
The Morris County Prosecutor’s Office reported that a 55-year-old man named Gerard Calcagno was hit by a Dodge Journey shortly before 10 p.m. on Thursday, near 1429 Route 46 East. Despite the efforts of first responders, Calcagno was pronounced dead at the scene. Further information regarding the incident has not been disclosed.
This marks the second pedestrian fatality in Parsippany this year, following the death of a 73-year-old woman who was hit while crossing Route 46 West at North Beverwyck Road in April.
Additionally, a 36-year-old woman from Dover lost her life in a single-car accident on May 6 along Hanover Avenue.
As of now, no charges have been filed in connection with Calcagno’s passing, and the investigation into the accident is ongoing. The driver of the SUV involved in the incident cooperated with authorities and remained at the scene.
The Parsippany-Troy Hills Police, along with the Morris County Sheriff’s Office, will be spearheading the investigation, with support from the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office.
Calcagno is survived by his sister Jean, brother Joseph, and several cousins, as mentioned in his obituary from Van Tassel Funeral Home. He was a graduate of Essex County Vocational School.
