Accident Before the Parade was DUI

The accident before the Jersey City St. Patrick’s Day Parade arrived in Journal Square happened between St. Paul’s Avenue and Newark Avenue (based on the inset photo and map). It was reported that the driver – Ernest Picciano, of Bergen Avenue in Brooklyn – was DUI.

The 46-year-old Picciano “was critically injured Sunday morning when a van he was driving swerved across Kennedy Boulevard near St. Paul’s Avenue in Jersey City and slammed into a fire hydrant and light pole…”

Looks to me that he was heading to the festivities.
