A South Jersey man robbed a store, ran into traffic and was killed by a car this weekend, police said.

Donte Bryson, 25, of Sicklerville, ran into a roadway from the southbound lanes Saturday and was struck by a black Chevy Blazer traveling north. Troopers responded to State Highway 42 northbound in the area of milepost 7.6 in Gloucester Township for reports of a pedestrian who was struck after entering the roadway.

A preliminary investigation, which included witness statements, revealed that Bryson was attempting to flee Gloucester Premium Outlets after being suspected of shoplifting by security personnel, police said.
