How fast was the driver going?
Was the driver talking on the cell?
There are alot of unattended kids playing…its a ongoing problem in Lakewood…alot of schools use parking lots as playgrounds where cars come & go…this should change.
I was in Chateau Park last night at about 9:15PM. Kids running freely in and out of the streets like one big playground. And it’s pretty dark there.Totally irresponsible.
they have to watch their childern and make them wear a color the cars can see , they have been told this over and over again
i hate to say it but so many times i see adults crossing streets on cell phones totally oblivious to the cars…and so many men j-crossing route 9 it is so dangerous being that cars from the side streets (7th and 8th etc..) are looking to turn onto route 9 and you dont always see those jay crossing…you need to cross by a traffic light on route 9 even if you are running to yeshiva..may hashem watch over all his precious children and may everyone start using common sense when walking..driving etc…
