The 3rd helicopter just landed. They are getting them out pretty quickly. My prayers go out to all of them + their families.

OMG, what is going on in Bayville today?!? Prayers to all involved.

Especially in the area of the Shop Rite.

not a good area today its like friday the 13th

I try to stay away from RT 9 in Bayville on a Friday but today was especially terrible for the poor people involved.

The road is clear to traffic. Just went through at 9:45.

It seems like there is a black cloud over this town lately. I hope all involved will be ok.I know I've driven there many times and had people run out thinking they can make it. It is hard to see them at times and its a busy area so your attention is on so much. You have to be a very attentive driver.I wish they had a safe way to cross there but I don't think they to. Through the years there have been numerous accidents there.

That stretch of RT 9 needs a serious makeover, its a mess whether driving or a pedestrian. The pedestrians have no chance in crossing that road, most drivers do not follow the law and yield to them, except at the 2 lights that are not at the area most cross. Perhaps another light at the intersection of 9 and Frederick Drive where the bus stops are.

ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ED !

Maybe the 70 year old needs to turn in his license because obviously his reaction time was too slow

whoever approved all those commercial buildings, needed to take a 2nd and 3rd look at the traffic flow there. It was bad before, now it's impossible. 2 lanes going into 1 with people going immediately left or right and a bus stop? just crazy.

Maybe they can just move the bus stop while studies or potential traffic light is in place. There should be safe crossings, in Old Bridge they put a fence so people getting off buses especially during rush hour cross properly & drivers are aware of the noted crossings.

Hopefully my family members get better

Sounds like another expensive charity case for the hospital.

Stupid but true

Mark were you there..? Lakewood & hispanic has nothing to do with it .Could have been from alaska & an eskimo... THey figured it out probably because the bus driver said they got on there or maybe the bus came from there or the other half of the ticket on them...could not track there back ground no license or SS card & spoke no english ..

Forgot one more thing mark The apts are goverment subsidized over there . Did you put the puzzle together with all the facts.?

You cant move in to lakewood unless you wear a funny hat.

I just shake my head at the ridiculous comments people make when something like this happens. what in the world does race, legal status and government subsidizing have to do with what happened?

Lakewood sucks. If I build a church in my basement does that mean I don't have to pay property taxes?

I can't believe what I am reading here!! Does it matter where ppl come from? Maybe they had family in bayville?? The point is four ppl were hit and could have been killed! There were children involved! Don't you care?? God for bid it was one of our children.

Bad things happen to good people every day. You can do studies, have committees, hold meetings, change locations of traffic signals but at the end of the day. Someone is still gonna get hurt. we can't simply legislate it away.

I wanna comment so badly on this topic but I would definitely be called. A racist lol so I'll keep my comments to myself!!!!

Vee-what does race have to do with 4 people getting hit by a car. My god what has happened to people now a days. There is no compassion, respect left. It sickens me to know the world my grand children will be raised in. I really hope nothing ever happens to anyone in your family. You all need help.

@ KEN I guess you did not read my first comment (like i was there) Than the rest of it, Hispanic or whatever had a hard time due too no Id & language ,The one part was not in the article

The cops should speak Spanish then there would've been no problem, we need to accommodate these illegals anyway we can. Make all street signs in Spanish, everyone who works in public service should be required to be bilingual, they should get free housing, hospitalization, and food along with anything else they need to be comfortable here, we also need to open our borders so the rest of their families can come here too, and meanwhile us hardworking, tax paying Americans should pay for it. And if you don't agree your racist.

If you were picked up illegally for being in MEXICO you would be subject to spending 2 years in one of their jails. In the USA the illegals get all the benefits of citizens and get to use our laws against us. Disagree...just look at what the president's AG has done...taken the side of a foreign country against our own citizens...a disgrace!

All the benefits of citizens? They get more!!

I have past that area many times most locals know its dangerous you the turn off 9 the bus the shopping center & than you get people wearing dark clothes walking across the road Not even in near the corner ( jaywalking)

When it comes to the people involved, it's no surprise they had no ID and were from Lakewood. Probably illegal aliens with anchor babies in tow. I see their disregard for traffic safety all the time, often running in front of cars and riding bikes on the wrong side of the road wearing all black with no reflectors. These people are reckless, and the sanctuary policy in Lakewood is now starting to bring much of Ocean County down. Been around Brick Township lately? Hard to believe this was once one of the safest communities in the US, now I see MS-13 gang grafitti popping up, strange men hanging around, and lots of beat up cars with out of state plates. Something needs to be done about Lakewood. If I was the Gov. I'd tell them they better get rid of the illegals or they get no state funding...

As if I had any doubt before racism is alive and thriving in NJ. How quickly people forget where they came from. The Italians, the Irish, the Chinese. It's like a revolving door.

LISTEN MY grand parents came to the US the proper way not sneak in the border drop an anchor baby...next time u go into lowes ..home depot... do you see irish.russian,polish, french,german, etc.. on the aisle signs or the other in store derectories . Thats discrimmination..All of our relatives did it the right way & paid there way...not the freebie at hospital. using it as doctors office. or other free social services..they carry more cash then us hard working citizens
