South Toms River: From last night’s critical pedestrian accident on NJ 166 by Sundae’s, a press release has been issued.
“On 9/28/2018, at approximately 2250 hours, the South Toms River Police Dept. responded to the area of 308 Atlantic City Blvd for a pedestrian struck. Upon arrival, officers observed a female, later identified as Danielle Frederick, unresponsive, face-up in the southbound lane. CPR was being performed by a nurse (in uniform) as well as an off-duty EMT. Paramedics were able to stabilize the Frederick for transport and she was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center for treatment. She is listed in critical condition.
Further investigation revealed that a 2008 Kia Optima, driven by Alyse Gombas, was traveling northbound on Atlantic City Blvd. when she struck Frederick and her boyfriend Vincent Mangione in the roadway. Gombas is an on-duty registered nurse and immediately exited her vehicle to render aid to Frederick who was unresponsive. She continued treatment until arrival of police and paramedics. Gombas remained on scene and provided a statement. Gombas did not show any signs of impairment and a blood sample was not obtained.
Vehicle #1: Alyse Gombas. Toms River, NJ 10/19/89

Pedestrian #2: Vincent Mangione. Jackson, NJ 3/12/91″
Ok, I’ll be the first to say it. Why the hell are the peoples exact addresses listed? What purpose does that serve? I just don’t get it.
They shouldnt do that.
No, they should not. If i was the driver, now I have to worry about nuts showing up at my house. Got forbid if I have kids there.
The OC Prosecutor Office usually identified names involved after all parties family has been notified. We only pass along the press releases as we get them.
I’m sure you can choose to NOT put that info on there. You could be putting someone in harm’s way.
Names…fine. exact addresses? Not fine.
As they or someone would say…it public knowledge once its on the scanner
They don’t give out names over the scanner, and if they did we wouldn’t post. The only time we publish names is when an authorized government agency releases them, or a reputable newspaper posts it.
I didn’t see addresses, ??
oh good! They are gone now! Thank you OCSN.
They were at the very bottom, where the names are listed Leslie Amico. But cool, gone. ❤
The girl that got hit- even though she got hit- had to have been the luckiest girl in ocean county last night. Sounds like if a nurse didn’t hit her she might not of made it ????
I feel like she was one of the unluckiest girls in ocean county last night…
Scott Thomas it depends on how you look at things I guess ? if somebody h it her that had no medical background or knew how to do cpr, her family might be planning her funeral. Just saying- so happy she’s gonna make it!
Michael Sica is this ur friend?
Stupid ass people thinking the cars will stop for them . They need to use cross walks or cross at a light .
This sounds like a very unfortunate accident. Thank God the nurse saved her but also is feeling pretty devastated as well. Prayers for all.
And allyse is one hell of a nurse!! It was an unfortunate accident, but let’s just say those two shouldn’t of been chillin in the middle of the lane ..
