The victim -- a black male in his 50s -- apparently was struck sometime at the Dean Street overpass on the westbound side in Englewood sometime between 3:30-4 a.m. and knocked into the air, responders said.
His body wasn't found until just after 7 a.m., however, because it had become wedged between the guardrail and the wall of the overpass, they said.
An investigation continued past noon, with a single lane of the westbound highway open.
The Bergen County Prosecutor's Fatal Accident Investigations team joined Bergen County sheriff's officers and the sheriff's Bureau of Criminal Identification, which collected evidence.
