Pedestrian Killed in Alleged Drag Racing

Two brothers are involved in an alleged drag racing incident that killed a pedestrian last night (July 12, 2011) at 10:45PM, according to NJ.com.

Fire Director Armando Roman said fire officials were called to School 31 at St. Pauls Avenue and Kennedy Boulevard at 10:45 p.m. and found a two-car crash and the pedestrian pinned against the fence…the driver in the right lane lost control of his car, crossed into the southbound lanes and struck two pedestrians…

I use this road almost everyday, and I see absolutely no reason for drag racing to happen in this place. Sure, there are less vehicles at night, but that’s not an excuse. If you want to race, go to a designated place to do that.

Condolences to the family of the victim, and speedy recovery to those who got hurt.
