Two children were struck by vehicles in separate incidents this morning. The first incident occurred about 9:30 AM in the area of Heckel Road and involved an approximately 4 year old child.
The child was transported by Hatzolah to Jersey Shore Medical Center.
The second incident occurred shortly before 10 AM at the intersection of Prospect Street and Williams Street, involving a 13 year old on a bike.
Hatzolah is currently on scene treating the victim.

Are names for Tehillim available?
the one on prospect seemed to have hit a 10-12 year olde (who was not wearing a helmet) BH he seems to have had only minor injuries
Wear. Your. Helmet.
Any idea if the drivers were ticketed????
Hashem watches over us – if this happened we must strengthen our avoda – all of us.
Always wear your helmet!!!
i was at the scene shortly after the boy was hit. I highly doubt the driver was at any fault. Perhaps children should not be riding bikes through dangerous intersections without crossing gaurds?? It doesn’t always have to be the drivers fault.
I noticed a few comments about the helmet. Were the drivers going over the speed limit? ? Were they on their cell phones??
To Avraham, #8-Wearing a helmet is not a punishment. It’s a precaution. The helmet helps to minimize injuries no matter whose fault the accident is. THAT”S why people are commenting about wearing helmets.
