Fatal pedestrian crash in Nutley, the latest in a string of pedestrian deaths in NJ
The identities of the victims and the driver, and a cause of the crash have not been released.
The incident happened on an overpass that crosses over the Garden State Parkway near Exit 151 just around 7 p.m.
One neighbor told News 12 New Jersey that he saw pieces of the bumper on the side of the road and called 911.
“I was just watching TV and I heard a loud noise…thought it was a dog at first and then I saw it and it was a human body laying over there on the ground,” said Berto Preira. He says he didn’t see a car just one person nearby.
This crash in the township comes after new data was released by the National Traffic Safety Administration that shows that four counties in New Jersey are in the top 10 in the country when it comes to pedestrian deaths. The numbers show over a 5-year period. Essex County had the most pedestrian fatalities with 106.

NJ voter turnout hard to predict due to low response rates
Conducting surveys during elections becomes difficult due to low responses from voters, according to experts.
While this fall’s midterm election may still feel like ages away, the process has already started for potential candidates.
March 23 was the filing deadline for politically affiliated folks to get on the ballot in this June’s primary election – the stepping stone for November.
All 12 seats representing New Jersey in the House are on the ballot as well as one seat in the U.S. Senate.

There are more contested races as well, though only three involving incumbents.
