Riverton, NJ (April 3, 2022) – On Saturday, April 2, a child was killed in a fatal bicycle accident that took place at an intersection in Riverton.
According to Bridgewater Police, the accident happened around 6:08 p.m. at the intersection of Fulton Street and Third Street. A 22-year-old woman from Bridgewater was driving a GMC pickup truck at the intersection when she suddenly struck a bicyclist who was also headed through the intersection at the same time.
Paramedics, fire crews, and several other local responders were called to the scene to help those in need. The bicyclist, identified as a female juvenile, was severely injured and rushed to Robert Wood Johnson Hospital Somerset. She was tragically pronounced dead due to her injuries while there.
The area was blocked at the intersection for a period of time. Police quickly worked to clear the scene so traffic could resume as normal.
The investigation into the circumstances of the accident continues. Police will update with more information as it is available.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.
Bicycle Accidents in New Jersey
Bicycle accidents do not happen commonly on our roads in New Jersey. However, when they do, they tend to lead to some of the most catastrophic harm. This is due to the fact that bicyclists have no protection from harm in the event of an accident. Especially in cases involving children, lives could be risked and even taken due to an accident. In 2021, it was reported that 22 or more people lost their lives in biking accidents in New Jersey and many others were seriously injured. If you have lost someone you love in one of these accidents, you and your family may wonder where you can turn. It is crucial that you speak with an attorney that you can trust during these difficult times.
