On Saturday April 13, 2019 at approximately 11:00 PM police were dispatched to the intersection of Route 166 and Route 37 for a pedestrian who was struck by a vehicle. NJSP Troopers, who happened upon the accident just after it occurred, were administering CPR to the female victim at the time of our officer’s arrival.
Preliminary investigation revealed, Charles R. Jordan 4th, 22 years old Manchester, was operating a 2006 Nissan Altima westbound in the left travel lane of Route 37. As he approached the intersection with Route 166, the traffic signal had turned to green and he continued into the intersection when he struck Pedestrian, Cheryl Cwiklik, 45 of Toms River who was walking with her husband, Kenneth Robinson, 48 of Toms River. Independent witnesses stated that at the time Mr. Robinson and Mrs. Cwiklik began to cross Route 37, the traffic signal for Route 37 east/west had just changed to green.
Toms River EMS and Monoc paramedics responded and continued CPR as they transported Ms. Cwiklik to Community Medical Center, where she was later pronounced deceased. Mr. Jordan was fully cooperative in the investigation and was treated at Community Medical Center for minor injuries as a result of the crash.
Investigation is ongoing by Toms River Traffic Safety officer Adam Koeppen and the Ocean County Prosecutors Office.
Prayers to her family ???
So sad.
Horrible!!! She died right in front of her husband…young drivers not paying attention or on drugs when will we get full detail on that part
Kimm Rose so very sad but from the article seems they walked across at the wrong time.
Kimm Rose yeah I’d wait until we know details before you blame the driver. Poor kid is probably suffering emotionally.
Driver had green light
Colleen Flood-Kerico didnt blame anyone but would not be suprised if that were the outcome
It states in article driver had green light. The couple crossed on green . The driver didn’t do anything wrong. Unfortunately this terrible tragedy happen.
Kimm Rose they were crossing at a GREEN light! She & her husband weren’t paying attention!
Jancy Campbell Houghtaling ok like i said when we get facts, facts are facts
Kimm Rose read your comment on who you blamed!
Didnt blame anyone, said i wouldnt be suprised if it were young drivers not paying attention or drug users but would need to wait for outcome when the story came through
Colleen Flood-Kerico I couldn’t imagine it’s so awful for everyone involved
Kimm Rose You should wait until the full report comes out before you start making accusations
Kimm Rose…, you blamed the driver. They had a green light.
Kimm Rose you are a ass the kid stayed and did nothing wrong that poor kid has to live with this forever and it was not his fault
I didnt blame anyone i said i wouldnt be suprised if…move on to the next story..clearly you people have no lives
The driver had the green light…
Kimm Rose that’s called BLAMING….without any factual basis on top of it!!! ?
Kimm Rose try reading the article:
“Preliminary investigation revealed, Charles R. Jordan 4th, 22 years old Manchester, was operating a 2006 Nissan Altima westbound in the left travel lane of Route 37. As he approached the intersection with Route 166, the traffic signal had turned to green and he continued into the intersection when he struck Pedestrian, Cheryl Cwiklik, 45 of Toms River who was walking with her husband, Kenneth Robinson, 48 of Toms River.

Kimm Rose – They already said he was fully cooperative, I’m sure while he was being treated for his injuries they took blood.
Kimm Rose can u explain to me why exactly your putting the words out to the public that it was his fault or on drugs ??? people like u suck with your uneducated post
Kimm Rose keep moving lol bc u look like an ass?? u have no life posting things u know NOTHING ABOUT!!
It says driver had green light. Pedestrians also need to be responsible and cross when they have crosswalk sign to go.
And anytime a pedestrian is hit by a car, it’s very sad. Prayers to the family. No matter reason, it’s a tragedy.
Kimm Rose actually YA DID! YOUR COMMENT WAS AS FOLLOWING….”Young drivers not paying attention….”.etc thats called blaming!!!
Move along people clearly you have no lives to sit here and keep analyzing, as if im the only one that thought this could be the case..COULD OF BEEN BUT WAS NOT, again i said i was waiting to read the facts which i then did finally find..so go find another post to try and rip apart since this is what you all seem to do here..
Kimm Rose…, when you say you wouldn’t be suprised you’re blaming the driver. Learn correct English.
Kimm Rose…, well that’s because we unlike you can read and understand English. See when you walk against a green and get run over and killed it is YOUR FAULT!!! iIts called SELF-RESPONSIBILITY or is that to big of a word for you? Something you seem to grasp.
Just sadness….. poor girl and family my condolences….. never know when your time is up. Could be me or you or a family member. R. I. P. Lady.
I pray they didn’t suffer
Uggghh ????
Condolences to the family. May she R.I.P. Prayers for the driver who has to live with this the rest of his life. Lean on Gods Peace, Comfort & Strength.??
I bet it had something to do with the sequence of the traffic lights

Such a tragedy for all involved.
Heart breaking Rest In Peace
Kid should have seen people crossing the road. Don’t care what anyone says dude wasn’t paying attention
Wow!!!!!! ??♀️
Brooke ?
That’s a terrible crossing even in the middle of the day! No way can you make it across all those lanes and keep your eyes on all the traffic in every direction! They should have put up a pedestrian bridge or something, when they did all that reconstruction!
?????
Prayers to all involved. ????

So sad?
