Two children were struck by a vehicle in Lakewood this evening.
The incident happened in the area of Locust Street and New Hampshire Avenue at approximately 6:30 p.m.
The children were transported by Hatzolah to Jersey Shore University Medical Center. Their injuries appear to be non-life-threatening.
Lakewood’s Traffic Safety division is investigating an incident.
They need lights. It’s all the kids crossing to the shopping center.
Yup pedestrians need lights at night. I bought a blinker light at local bicycle store and put it on my coat when I’m walking after dark. I don’t live in Lkwd but it’s quite common for pedestrians to were lights after dark where I live.
Here in Lakewood, actual lights on belt would be a bit of a challenge, as we don’t turn electricity on and off on the Sabbath (except for life and death situation – such as to call ambulance), and it’s hard to have separate types of reflectors for weekday and weekend. But a regular reflector shines well, and worn as a belt/garment is perfectly fine for the Sabbath. So, we have many of those around here, and many do wear them, but it always needs encouragement.
Bikes are required by law to have lights front and back (we don’t ride bikes on the Sabbath).
We need LIGHT, vote to make DST permanent
Hashem Yishmor! Always wear a reflector at night
