A snow-tuber was seriously injured after being struck by a vehicle while being pulled by a vehicle in Lakewood, TLS has learned.
At around 11:45 pm last night, emergency personnel responded to a call for a pedestrian struck. Upon arrival, emergency personnel found a man with serious injuries.
Sources tell TLS the tuber was attached to a vehicle, but went sliding into the opposite lane of travel and was struck by a vehicle.
The injured was treated on scene and then transported to JSUMC.
The driver of the tuber was charged for the illegal activity, police tell TLS.
“This incident highlights how dangerous and irresponsible this type of behavior can be,” Police Chief Greg Meyer told TLS. “Towing a person behind a vehicle on a public roadway places everyone at risk and can easily result in serious injury or death. We strongly urge the public to refrain from engaging in this behavior and to use sound judgment at all times.”
Lakewood’s Traffic Safety division responded to the scene for the investigation.
Is there a name for Tehillim? For the patient AND for the driver who may be in serious trouble.
Only a fool will say that now is not the time to remind people that there is no place for this type of activity. Now is EXACTLY when you need to speak to your family and tell them that certain things no matter how fun they look are extremely dangerous and can cause someone to lose their life.
Repeatedly say פרק צ״ד, in public and loud, focusing on the words וכסילים מתי תשכילו

Someone is hurt and you decide now is the perfect time to practice your opening monologue for the Tiny hearts and no brains Conference…… Well played.
Chill out, as Jews we’ve historically used humor even at hard times. No reason for you to be the first comment to start bashing other people’s comments.
Agreed w “Tiny Heart” (above comment)
To the “Local Driver” :
Its not “chill out” —
Its Grow Up.
Grown ups know the time for humor versus the time for appropriate and mature sensitivity.
Jews don’t laugh at people getting hurt, hit by a car, being transported to the trauma hospital.
Such an immature and out of touch reply.
you’re probably the same guy that wrote its okay to call chaveirum and not give the courtesy of cancelling your request if you no longer need it, and you think its ok yo just leave.
I hope you’re not in a position to influence children.
Bad example of Jewish middot and sensitivity.
Chill out, don’t you think your going a little overboard. And btw your way off target.
Rephua shlaima to you, your clearly have a hard time tolerating other people, hope your not married. You probably abuse your wife. How do I know this? I don’t and neither do u.
Some people make really dumb decisions that cost them serious injuries , while we have all as youngsters done foolish things , here is a case where we have a driver of the vehicle that should have known better that this could be a really foolish and dangerous attempt to having fun
Play Stupid Games Win Stupid Prizes.
Physics and algebra are difficult for some.
Hoping we find out that it wasn’t fin inzireh. I’m sure the morons YMSH on FB are going wild with this just like they always do when it involves anything over Lakewood.
New Jersey has tackled the scourge of E-Bikes; time to licence Snow Tubers.
