The pair were transported via Lakewood EMS to Jersey Shore Medical Center.
Lakewood First Aid also responded to the scene.
the intersection of park ave and rt 88 needs a light badly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No more light in this town people need to learn to look were they are walking and look were there going
ATTN Women,
When waiting by a street corner on Madison Avenue schmoozing with your friend/sister in law/whoever, please make sure that your stroller with your cute/adorable little shayfeleh/zeeskeit is not sticking out into the street in the right lane.
this town doen’t need more lights, ive lived her 30 yrs w no problems. why the need for the lights at every intersection now? north lake and hope. south lake and hope. new central and central? lets get real. what the state needs to do is add a common sense portion to the driver’s test. alot of people would be taking public transportation in this town…
How bout no more cars
to #4:
The reason you didn’t need lights here 30 years ago was because there were only 30 people here…
And it’s not always about common sense. There are several intersections in Lakewood where vision is obstructed because of parked cars, curves in the road, etc…..
to #4
and 100 years there were no cars go buy a horse if you wanna live in the past
30 years ago my kids could cross the street by themselves. Now adults can’t even cross.
remember:
A) It was raining at time of incident
B) Cross at a crosswalk.
There’s a reason there’s no crosswalk at that intersection.
this town packs in more & more & more people. this type of thing is only going to get worse. and the community keeps complaining. some people create their own problems, and just don’t see it…!!
The patients were crossing Ocean ave? I dont think they were patients when they were crossing. That makes no sense
to#11…they werent patients before they tried to cross there. but they are now because of the way they drive and walk around in this town..!!
to #6…and it was a lot better town back then!
ARGUING OVER THIS??? REALLY?? LETS HOPE AND PRAY THE CHILD IS OK LETS ALL HOPE AND PRAY FOR A SPEEDY RECOVERY SINCE THE MOM HAD NO LIFE THREATING INJURIES!! WE ALL NEED TO PAY MORE ATTENTION BEHIND THE WHEEL WHILE DRIVING REGAURDLESS OF WHERE THERE IS CROSSWALKS OR TRAFFIC LIGHTS…PRAYING FOR SPEEDY RECOVERY FOR CHILD AND MOM!
ALSO ANY UPDATE ON THIS WOULD BE NICE IF POSSIBLE
When you live in a town where everyone is allowed to behave like they want ,whenever they want ,this is what happens.
Bad behavior collapses onto itself . I agree we don’t need more lights that’s not going to replace or change behavior. Then people will just ignore lights !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no more lights,,more traffic enforcement, allow the Police to do thier jobs,
To I Love Lakewood- I couldn’t have said it better!
A mother that pushes her child in a carriage, out on to a busy roadway, where there is no crosswalk is an accident waiting to happen. Mothers need to protect their children, and cross only at crosswalks.
A driver that does not view an incursion of pedestrians into a travel lane as a critical issue, is an accident waiting to happen.
Drivers need to be alert, and drive in a safe and defensive manner. Stay off the phones, concentrate on driving, view the roadway at a distance, taking into account that pedestrians will sometimes enter the roadway.
Everyone needs to cooperate. In spite of all of the rules, some accidents will occur; but the objective is to reduce the number and seriousness of the accident.
