A man who fought for the medical rights of first responders who fell ill after 9/11 died in a freak car accident in a medical center parking lot, police say.
His namesake, the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010, established the World Trade Center Health Program, which provides federal health benefits to first responders who fell ill after the attacks in 2001.
Galloway Township police say an 82-year-old man was pulling a 2021 Nissan into a parking space around 2 p.m. when he mistakenly hit the gas, striking Zadroga who was standing outside his parked 2015 Hyundai. Zadroga ended up pinned underneath the Nissan.
