Pedestrian killed crossing Route 27 EDISON - A car struck an Edison woman while she was walking across Route 27, fatally injuring her, on April 7 around 10 p.m. According to Lt. Joseph Shannon, police public information officer, Florence Burrell, 76, was returning from a bus trip to Atlantic City, and the bus had dropped the passengers off near the Rainbow Deli at the corner of Route 27 and Division Street. Burrell had parked across the street, and so she began walking toward her car, alongside her cousin, Ellen Santangelo, 71, of North Brunswick, who had also gone on the trip. Shannon said the pair managed to make it halfway across the road, successfully crossing the northbound side, when a 2002 Honda Civic struck Burrell's right side from the southbound lane. The car was being driven by Tariq M. Anwar, a 52-year-old Edison resident. Santangelo was able to get out of the way at the last minute, but injured her knee while doing so. Both women were taken to Robert Wood Johnson Hospital in New Brunswick. Doctors operated on Burrell, but she was pronounced dead at 5:47 the following morning. Shannon said no summonses have been issued as a result of the incident, but the investigation is continuing.
