Omg...what is with brick lately..I'm afraid to even drive through there ...town is a road design mess

This is so sad! Rest In Peace Laura! My prayers go out to the Voll family

Actually Rockthis, it's not Brick or the residents of Brick 's fault. You can pretty much chalk it up to people being in the road when and where they shouldn't be.

Im very sorry for her family <3

Unfortunately more tragedies like this will happen if people do not cross the busy roads at the intersections. There is a young lady who lost her life and another who has to live with this the rest of her life. So sad for all families involved.

With the new law of Pedestrian's Right of Way, so many of the pedestrians think they should go at any time, regardless of a car being close. I have had many a heart attack when someone just jumps off the sidewalk to cross when they feel like it when I have the right of way. Common sense saves lives. Cars can't stop as quickly as people can. Very sad for both women.

This is so sad. My heart goes out to her family. Is it just me or do we have a lot of traffic deaths for such a small town?

Rest in peace laura. You were one of the sweetest people i know. My prayers are are with ur family.

We use to teach out kids to "Cross at the Green and NOT In Between", I'd venture to say that she was wearing black or a dark color at 11:39PM and the driver had no expectation that anyone would be crossing. Not know the intersection well enough to be ablke to find out what her Blood Alcohol Level was.

Life long .. Brick township is not small .. And in that particular area the traffic build up is worse there ten anywhere in the township .. Also that area is prime location for accidents because 4 lanes turn to 2 .. Rest in peace Laura you will be missed and my prayers go out to her family

I knew Laura and she was a wonderful, sweet person. She never had a bad thing to say about anyone else ever. God bless her and my prayers are with her family.

Rest in Peace Laura. You did not know me but I know your father and he is a wonderful man and heard many stories about you working with him. You him and your mother did not deserve this. My prayers are with you all.

Driving in Brick Township is similar to the Wild West. In Brick, the amber light means speed up not slow down. Try to stay in the left turn lane at Brick Blvd and Drum Point Road stopped at a red light and you will feel the speed of the ongoing traffic. It's amazing. I have been in Brick for 10 years and have no fear of being caught for speeding as police are accustomed to speeders. Several key roads require speed bumps as was successfully done in the Lake Riviera section, however, try to get one and you will need to go through several gyrations and then someone will advise you they are not required. How else does a car flip over at Hooper Ave and Drum Point into the Walgreen's parking lot.It is almost physically impossible. Would love some feedback.

Our company got the news of Laura's death and our prayers are with her and her family. Laura had a get sense of humor and always in great spirits. She was always a big help when we needed her.....Rest in peace, Laura

So bad for both families what ever the situation was.
As far as Driving in Brick, this time of year is the worst bcz you have bennies that dont know where they are going, & Seniors that Dont know the rules of the road( Well they DO they just dont care) they have the " entilement" Watch out Im a senior & dont really care about anyone else... a merge to them means speed up cut someone off to do 10 miles under the speed limit, they DO NOT stop at stop sign & make illegal turns all over Brick, not to mention all the meds they are on most liky are under the influence . this are should be about the 2 people lives 1 lost & one change forever, But if you value your life, Stay out of shoprite Parking lot btwn 10-2 then Senior "hour" for shopping Fell So sad for the young lady 29 is Just way to young my heart goes to her & her family

Is this really a time to discuss the new pedestrian law...or the other insensitive remarks by judgemental individuals?

Def time to discuss the Ped laws NOW that a life is lost maybe Brick PD will do something to make our roads safe. Sadly it usally take a targity for them to start paying attention....& craking down on unsafe drivers that do not obey the rules...

Yes it does say that, I DO not want to be disrespectful to the young lady that past, but Ped. ALWAYS have the right away, & as a Driver for over 25 years YOU as the Driver need to pay attition to whats going on around you, including people crossing the road, animals Or other drivers... & at all times need to have control over your vechicle

Agreed have to have common sense... sadly alot of our youth just dont have that anymore... ( & yes 29 is still young) so sad for everyone involved

WAS JUST at the intersection of brick Blvd ( at 430pm) & beverson Blvd. 3 cars stopped at the stop light. then just went right threw it, ( while it was still red) just shook my head & thought about what everyone here is saying...

This is a shame, pedestrians need to pay attention. I drive for a living, I watch these people cross the road with headphones on, head down texting, just jumping out btwn parked cars. I have almost been hit so many times b/c I see someone step off the curb & I have to jam my brakes (so I dont get a ticket, even though they are in the wrong) & they just stand there & look at me. I am in control of my truck, but it will not stop on a dime. I have seen a rise in this behavior since the stop for ped law. The pd's should start enforcing the crosswalks.

ok point taken hear what your sayin. have to have some common sense.. cant just walk out into traffic. I even tell my teenage sons that when they are riding bikes at dusk ( if they have dark clothing on) to put something light on that drivers can see yellow, white etc... they never think anything can happen. Sadly it does.

we were there a couple of minutes after the accident and honestly all I have to say is the following: #1 for "Not so Dumb" she was not wearing black. #2 for the defense of both it was 11:30pm or something like that it was very close to midnight. On Laura's defense who cares about the green light if the road is empty. For the driver who is going to be out at at midnight crossing Hooper Ave. #3 That's where the word ACCIDENT comes from. They were both at the wrong place and at the wrong time. Is different to write comments and pointing fingers to actually close to witness all this. Our condolences to both families.

i am very sorry and deeply saddened for what happened---- my prayers go out to everyone----

Angelica, I couldn't agree more. I actually lost a friend less than 1 yr ago on rt 9, very similiar circumstance.

I work at the brick petsmart where Laura frequently visited with her dog, Jager. She was always smiling and laughing...an absolute sweetheart and dedicated customer. She was incredibly down to earth and always had a witty joke to say to me when we talked. This is such an awful tragedy, regardless of who was "right" or "wrong." My sincerest condolences go out to her and her family. The staff will deeply miss her and Jager. Rest easy, Laura. You're at peace now. <3

We knew Laura via the company she worked for. I personally met her all I can say what a complete sweet heart and great sprited. My condolences go out to her family she will be missed.

The driver is about to learn a hard lesson in life.

John Glynn... your a moron and an idiot!!!! just saying, you sound like a typical ignorant idiot... people have the right of way at all times. I just hope they dont find out the driver was texting or on the phone. How do you not pay attenition to whats going on around you at ALL TIMES! BEHIND THE WHEEL, WALKING, TALKING, RUNNING WORKING... PEOPLE ARE LIKE ZOMBIES AND ARE JUST IN THE WAY. Either way its horrible and to speak ill of the dead is bad karma and you will recieve the blunt of it. RIP to the lost and people need to wake up and realize their is a world going on around you.

Brittany, my sister was not doing 80. She never goes faster than 2-5 below the speed limit. She is a very consciencious and safe driver.
There were no skid marks because Laura came out of nowhere. Kelly did not see her.
She parked her car in the parking lot because she panicked and moved her car out of the way.
She walked back to Laura on the phone with 911. She did not actually approach her because I'm a nurse and have told her in the past to not move the victim in case of an accident. She ddnt say anything to her directly because she was in shock.
There was 1 witness. A retired state trooper who gave his statement to the police including the fact that the light HAD NOT just turned and Laura came out of nowhere.
Please don't speak of things unless you were there. My sister is devastated by this tragic accident and has to live with the images of last night forever. My whole family is in shock and mourning the passing of Laura right along with everyone. Though we cannot fathom the loss the Volls are feeling we do offer our condolences. I know that Laura was a wonderful girl and is gone too soon.

Please do not villify my sister. This was an accident. A terrible case of 2 people being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Thank you MrCommonSense.

I am not commenting to get in a big argument with anyone, that happened the other day. This is a tragic accident and any comments posted are going to read by both families involved. Please remember that before writing something.

Kelly did nothing wrong. It's sickening the way people are trying to vilify her. This was an accident not caused by Kelly.

Assumptions and rumors are created by asses and supported by sheeple.
that being said, my prayers go out to the families of both parties. I pray for a civil outcome.

Also..Brittany. Even if you were the officer at the scene ...you have zero rights to give away an investigation like this on a social network. You need clearance before you can talk to the press/media . Oh wait, you weren't the officer there. I hope to God George serves you with a liable lawsuit for making up rumors or tampering with an investigation by spilling it onto social media network.

JerseyGirl81, I was not vilifying your sister. I was replying to John Glynn who called Laura an idiot and stated that she caused damage to your sisters car. This was a tragic and traumatizing event for everyone involved. BUT the retired state trooper did state that your sister did swerve around him to go faster. My brother did see Laura walking across the high way, and in one second his life changed. My brother was the witness who FIRST ran to assist Laura. I do agree that your sister was in shock but once again I was replying to John Glynn who said Laura is an idiot and she had it coming to her because she was walking across a main street. Your sister, Kelly, and my brother have to live with these traumatizing images for the rest of their life. As you and your family are mourning the passing of Laura, we are too and our prayers go out to your family during this difficult time.

Where is the police report to verify this? The investigation isn't closed and what you're doing is similar to breaking opsec. Until they are done and they get the ok to bring it to the public, keep your mouth shut. Your ass can be sued right now at the drop of a hat...along with anyone else devulge details.
If your brother's name is on that report....I guess the George family will know where to serve paperwork.

Also... if what you are saying turns out to be a lie, that's a liable lawsuit. Screen caps never lie and even if the patch doesn't give up your account info...it's good to know your brother was the "1st" witness.
so keep talking.. loose lips sink ships.

What is going on here people ???? A woman died and one will be tramatized for life, give everyone a break , Can't we all just get along , a really terrible thing happened.My heart goes out to each family, rest in peace Laura

WOW ladies,... Really Leave her alone, as terrible that a live was lost the 21 yr old girl will have to deal with that happened the rest of her life. just drop it & grow up. You all Mean Spirted people I hope that your never get involved in a Accident, Or maybe you should be, so you will learn not to judge.

Very sad situation for all involved. My prayers for all. This young woman had her whole life in front of her. I cant imagine what her family is feeling.

Ashe h please do us all a favor stop posting and go back to watching Law and Order.

Wow! God Bless both parties involved. For those of you who like to blame, shame on you. If you're so perfect then why don't you fix the problems around you, instead of insulting the dead and unfortunate people of our neighborhoods.

Pedestrians and drivers need to be considerate of each other at all times. If we lived in a perfect world, that's how it might be, perhaps. If only that were to be, accidents like this wouldn't happen.
I've had close calls when driving, and close calls when on foot. Not necessarily from being careless, either. There are places in Brick where I feel it is more dangerous (for pedestrians) to cross at the intersction then one or two hundred feet either way. If you think I'm wrong in stating that, come take a ride on the bus with me any weekday and I'll show you a prime example when we get off the bus on route 70 near Shoprite.

You people are rude and immature i work with kelly and she is an amazinq loving young lady she wouldnt hurt a fly ! This tragedy could of happed to anyone ... Have a heart people for both families ... Kelly is a wonderful person who doesnt drink do drugs or nothing like that ... If you dont know the whole story dont judge her
