The sun had just set when the township victim was struck by a 2019 Ford Eco-Sport outside the CVS near Queen Anne Road shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday, Deputy Police Chief John A. Faggello said.

He was initially unconscious but breathing when taken to Hackensack University Medical Center, the deputy chief said.

The westbound 37-year-old driver, also from Teaneck, it turned out, had an expired license, for which he received a summons, Faggello said. The Ford also was towed, he said.
