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.

Do you have a secret spot in your home where you hide your valuables?
Do you think that it’s very safe and a would-be burglar wouldn’t think to check?
Unfortunately, that spot may not be as safe as you would hope. Burglars have a few spots in your home they will check first after they break in, and it very well may be your “super safe secret spot.”

How Common is Burglary in New Jersey
The majority of crimes in New Jersey are property crimes like burglary and vehicle theft. In 2021, NJ residents reported 103,761 property crimes.
This breaks down to a property crime rate of 11 crimes per 1,000 residents.
Though this crime rate is below the national average, you still have a 1-in-89 chance of becoming a victim of property crime. Criminals in New Jersey often target homes to steal electronics, jewelry, and other expensive items.
Reconsider Where You Are Hiding Your Valuables
I hope you are never the victim of a burglary, but if you are, at least you can make it a little harder for a crook to find your valuables.
Reader’s Digest recently talked with Chris McGoey of McGoey Security Consulting and Robert Siciliano, a security analyst with Hotspot Shield.
Using information from these two experts, the magazine determined that these are the 10 spots burglars are most likely to check.
