Mom and Child Struck by Pickup Truck on Route 36

A mother and her young child were struck by an oncoming vehicle while walking along Route 36 in Hazlet, New Jersey this past Thursday. Continue reading to learn more about this tragic accident. 

How the Accident Unfolded

The incident occurred around 12:00 pm noon on the eastbound side of Route 36, between Laurel and Palmer avenues. 

No details have been released yet regarding how or why the accident happened. Both the Hazlet police and Monmouth County’s Serious Collision Analysis Response team are investigating the details of the crash and urge anyone who may have witnessed anything to come forward. 

Surveillance footage showed the mother standing after the accident, however, both she and her child were transported via ambulance to Bayshore Medical Center. As of publication, there is no word on their current conditions. Further examination of the accident scene showed damage to the pickup truck’s passenger side, as well as a missing wheel on the young child’s stroller. The road was re-opened by 3:30 pm. 

Not the First Accident to Occur on Route 36

Unfortunately, this is not the first tragic accident to occur on Route 36. A motorcyclist was hospitalized following a serious motorcycle accident along the route back in August when he was struck by an oncoming vehicle near Fieldcrest Way. 

Back in September 2021, another motorcycle accident occurred near the Laurel Avenue intersection, leaving one person dead. Though Route 36 is a popular route for drivers traveling through Monmouth County, New Jersey, it is not without its risks, as the highway eventually widens to six lanes.
