Hopefully all involved are Benei Lavan, tragic nonetheless.
Shimon and Levi engaged the entire city of Shechem in war for failing to enforce basic laws and here is someone who was killed by someone and it is our duty to help law enforcement find and bring the perpetrator to justice whether by providing videos of this crime or just by paying taxes to help purchase upgraded investigative equipment
What a terrible tragedy. Thoughts and Prayers to the victim and the family.
Of course we don’t know what happened here, but this reminds me that we have to be more vigilant about wearing reflectors and using reflective gear at night. The amount of near misses has been posted here many times. We talk about it after the night time accidents. But let’s be proactive, instead of reactively wringing our hands. Let’s try to prevent these occurrences before they happen. Please, for my sake, as well as yours, please wear reflectors at night.
Someone left him injured/dying on the side of the road. That is the bigger issue here.
When our Matriarch Sarah had a baby boy, God did a large miracle and all the women in that country that were trying for years to have a baby, finally became pregnant and they all got healthy babies.
I will tell you a little secret, if we were all 100% perfect, it would never happen such an accident, the cyclist would have never gotten hit and also we would not have amongst us in Ocean County mammals that can actually flee after a deadly accident.
Accidents happen, but to leave someone injured and dying on the side of the road is a despicable act of indifference. There is no way that the driver did not know he hit someone.
I agree with you one million percent.
I think you read my comment too quickly. My comment agrees fully with what you are saying.
Says the vuctim was on south side west bound 70.
That’s the inside of the highway.
I’m not minimizing the tragedy but it seems like the victim was on the wrong side
There is an area of great concern.
There are 10s of boys dressed in dark clothing on Pine Street just west of New Hampshire.
It is frightening – they are barely visible
Please spread the word to your sons, nephews, friends that all these bochurim need to move to the side AND WEAR REFLECTORS. Please!
My earlier comment was a reply to the first comment ( Mr. Goose) . I guess somehow by error my comment showed up as an additional comment. I was really talking to the first person.
Even if the driver couldn’t see the victim and hit him unintentionally, he should not have left the scene of the accident. That itself is a criminal offense.
