The vehicle that struck Ross, a 2010 Toyota Rav 4, had been traveling in the left lane but veered right to avoid the vehicle in front of it when it stopped abruptly after Ross walked in front of it, the police said.

Ross was taken to Yale New Haven Hospital, where he died, according to the police.

The report does not indicate why Ross was on the highway.

A LinkedIn page for Ross says he held an M.B.A. from Bridgewater State University and retired in 2020 after 17 years of both active and reserve service with the Navy. According to the profile, he worked for YouthBuild Providence from October 2021 until April 2022.
