Franconia Police District- A 19-year-old man died yesterday around 5:30 p.m. as a result of an incident that occurred shortly after 10 p.m. on Aug. 16.

Khan fell from the car and was seriously injured when the driver turned onto Beverly Park Drive. He was taken to a local hospital with injuries that were life threatening.
