A vigil was held in Jersey City for 6-year-old Eli Bender, who tragically died after being struck by a UPS truck. Friends and family gathered to remember Eli, highlighting the community's grief and the urgent need for safer pedestrian conditions. The accident occurred while Eli was biking with his father. The UPS driver cooperated with authorities, and the company expressed condolences while an investigation took place. Community members voiced their anger and called for improved safety measures for pedestrians and cyclists to prevent such tragedies in the future.
The community needs change. The community needs safer streets. I'm sick of instances in this city where people are not safe while living in this neighborhood.
When life stops, you can't imagine how to take the next steps. It's a heart-wrenching experience that no family should have to endure.
