Jay walking is illegal!
But “Hit and run” is illegal also!
Driver should’ve stopped and pressed charges against the pedestrian.
Scotty Anema WHO SAYS THE TRAIN WAS JAY WALKING. MORON DIDN’T HAVE HEADlLIGHTS ON SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN SPEEDING ANYWAY
Who said the driver was speeding?
As far as “Jaywalking”, there are no crosswalks by Acme in Seaside / Ortley Beach. I see people jaywalking every day across the highway. They either have to walk all the way to the crosswalk signal near Stewart’s Rootbeer (near Fremont Ave and Kearney Ave in Seaside Heights) or cross the road at Harding Ave in Ortley Beach to be in a legal crosswalk.
Yes, the driver should have had their headlights on and stopped.
I cross there with my kids cause there is no sholder big enough for a stroller anywhere else so if jwalking is such a issue fix shit to where people can walk and people speed so bad around the bends there needs to be caution lights like lavalette there
Who said she was jay walking? How about having no head lights or maybe HITTING A PEDESTRAIN AND DRIVING AWAY YOU DUMBASS.
It’s so dangerous crossing to acme!…did it for so many years …so grateful for my truck now …
How many times does this have to happen. People don’t understand how bad that area is. Don’t cross in the dark. Just take a cab. It is sad that the same thing has to happen. No one learns. ?
Not everyone has cab fare, or maybe they just live close by
Really……a toms river cab company charges an automatic 25 bucks JUST to come over the bridge…sorry but i dont have that to spend everytime i want a loaf of bread.
And charges for jay walking ?? The car didnt even have headlights on and the fact that he ran says he probably wasnt riding too cleanly.
Shit, how do you people justify a hit and run ? I mean, ive had some close calls with pedestrians walking in dumbass places, but if i hit someone on foot im not going to blame them and i certainly wouldnt yell at them for jay walking while theyre lying on the ground unconscious.
Andrea Hirsch she said take a cab bbbaaaahhhaaaahhhhaaa
Lol ur so funny take a cab 5 streets from the store and get charged 30 dollars ok if u got the 30 to give me lol people are jokez
Jessica Sanchez I guess crossing a street is not a skill that was learned
Jeffrey Oelshlegel no one justified it. People driving don’t pay attention anymore. You have to be careful when you cross this road.
Accidents happen but when you hit someone and leave now that is a person usually that has also been drinking or no license. Hope they vigorously pursue this person
why can’t the powers that be put in a crosswalk there? this happens about once a month.
What is the hit and run tax now in NJ?
No it’s a toll..
Awful. I have crossed there many times in the day time (ONLY) and very dangerous. I only walk if I have been to the food store and have forgotten something and my husband doesn’t want to take me…
Does anyone know how the pedestrian is doing?
