VIDEO: A Bachur is in serious condition this evening after being struck by a vehicle. The incident occurred about 9:20 PM at the intersection of Madison Avenue and 7th Street. The Bachur, approximately 15 years old, was reportedly crossing Madison Avenue when he was hit and thrown about 30 feet from the intersection.
Hatzolah responded to the scene and immediately requested Paramedics to respond as well.
The patient was transported to Jersey Shore Medical Center with serious injuries.
Police have closed off Madison Avenue between 7th and 8th Street for the investigation.
7th Street is also closed to traffic from Clifton Avenue.
Please take a moment to be Mispallel for Avrohom Ben Chana.
The bochur is a very choshuvah bochur (moderated) grandson.
I am not sure it is true, but either way please be mispalel.
I’ll say Bli Neder 1-5 Tehillim.
6-10
Please use this opportunity to be Mevakesh Rachamim. Now is not the time to condemn anyone’s actions. This should be the end of all our tza’ros.

A traffic light at every intersection is not the answer. Crossing safely where the lights are already in place would stop these tragic events
Scary…. Slow down and parents teach your kids to wear reflectors and not to run across the road!!!!!!! I saw the aftermath the minivan that hit him sustained a lot of damage front light, hood and windshield smacked in on the drivers side. It seemed like he was wearing a black long coat (coat was left on the floor). Reflectors!!!!! May he have a speedy recovery.
It’s so sad to read articles like this. Drivers need to really be more cautious while driving. Stop at stop signs, get rid of the phones and pay attention.
just said Tehillim 50-60 in his merit. May we hear only good news with the imminent arrival of our righteous Moshiach!
Let us also accept on ourselves to wear ref;ectors and be more careful drivers as a zchus for a refuah Shleima
Get off ur phones & we need traffic lights at these huge intersections!!!!!asap!!!! Askanim get to work!!!!
REFLECTORS!! reflectors!!!
we cant change the fact that rt 9 is a very busy highway going thru our town. we should try having more lights/ better lighting or at least the ones we have now should be working (perhaps jcpl should be sued after every accident where the lights werent working) but we can and should do what ever we can to minimize what seems to be a re occuring unfortunate regular accidents.
i wouldnt blame the drivers, if the pedestrians arent taking care of themselves by being careful a) not talk on your cell phones when crossing streets b) not wearing reflectors
c) when pointed out to them after being nearly hit scoffing at the driver who takes the time out to point out they were nearly hit as they werent wearing a reflector
refua shleyma bsoch sharr chole yisroel
ohh here we go again. its the fault of streetlights… maybe we should just put huge lights up and make it look like day time all the time 24 hours
there are many cars in town that are missing headlights, tail lights and break lights. every night on my five minute drive to my yeshiva i see on average 3-5 cars missing a headlight. a car’s light should be checked at least once every month
A traffic light is a most at this busy intersection. May he have a speedy recovery.
wear me at all times of the day and night
i will save alot of lives
Being that there’s always a lot of pedestrian traffic due to the bmg yeshiva …dorms…dining room etc…there should be a crosswalk bridge across Madison ave so that people could cross safely
This is our cousin, Please be mispallel, he is in critical condition.
#22 Your idea of a crosswalk bridge is great!
Wondering if that would have an effect on Eiruvin by alleviating the Reshus Harabim DeOraisa status of Rt 9…Any thoughts?
Also on forest
Crosswalks would be great if many are installed.
Hey never thought of that idea of pedestrian bridge….who do we present this idea to? Would help the cheder kids and bmg bachurim and the hundreds who cross all day
?
Let our tax dollars go to something like building a bridge on eighth street ( 9th has light) or seventh street
What’s a Bachur?
Why are you not posting my comments? What’s wrong about saying that I do not attend bmg and don’t want to pay for a pedestrian bridge because people don’t follow the laws?
name added please be mispalel for avraham refoel ben chana besoch sheor cholei yisroel
