Man Seriously Injured in Hit and Run

February 14, 2021/in header, Neighborhoods, News, Trending Now, Westside /by Jersey City Times Staff

On Saturday night, a man walking along the northbound lane of the Lincoln Highway Bridge was seriously injured after being hit by a vehicle. The driver fled the scene.

The victim was taken to the Jersey City Medical Center, where he is listed in critical but stable condition.

This comes just six weeks after a 26-year-old Jersey City woman was seriously injured at Ocean and Warner Avenues after being struck by a black Cadillac Escalade that was traveling north on Ocean Avenue. In that case too, the driver fled the scene. That victim was also transported to the Jersey City Medical Center where she was treated for multiple injuries.

The Hudson County Regional Collision Investigation Unit and Jersey City Police Department are actively investigating last night’s incident. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Office of the Hudson County Prosecutor at 201-915-1345 or to leave an anonymous tip at: http://www.hudsoncountyprosecutorsofficenj.org/homicide-tip/. All information will be kept confidential.
