MANSFIELD — Police are looking for witnesses in the cases of two young women who were killed while crossing major highways on foot in separate incidents in the past week police said.

   Monday evening, Candace L. Puckett, 26, of Westampton, died of multiple blunt force injuries after being struck trying to cross the northbound lanes of Route 130, according to police.

   Police and emergency medical teams from Florence, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in Hamilton and Medic 34 responded to the area of mile post 53 on Route 130 at 10:20 p.m.

   Police withheld information about the driver, a Bordentown resident.

   In a similar incident early Friday morning, Arlee M. Toto, 27, of Columbus, was struck and killed while crossing Route 206, police said.
