Hit-and-Run: JFK Blvd and Bond St

Weeks after the horrific accident at the boulevard and St. Paul’s Avenue, another speeding incident occurred at the same main road and Bond Street claiming the life of a 47-year old musician from Bayonne.

Jersey Journal reports that witnesses said that Gene “Bluejean” Hughes – a recording artist – was struck at Kennedy Boulevard and Bond Street by a black Honda Ridgeline pickup truck that was traveling north on Kennedy Boulevard at 11:47 p.m…

… (witnesses) saw the pickup, which contained a male driver and female passenger, stop momentarily where Hughes was lying in the street and then take off north of Kennedy and then eastbound on Sip Avenue… another witness told police the driver of the pickup blew through a red light at Kennedy Boulevard and Stuyvesant Avenue..

If you’ve been in that area the past several weeks, you probably have noticed that construction has been going on (will end in September), and portion of south-bound lane is closed. That is enough reason for motorists to take extra care when driving. I just don’t see the need for speeding, especially during night.
