As Ramapo residents mourn the loss of a child killed while bike riding, the town is doing what it can to keep residents safe and aware of just how dangerous driving and bike riding and other activities can be. This, as yet another pedestrian was struck yesterday in Monsey. News 12 reported a van struck an unidentified 55 year-old man on Forshay Road yesterday morning around 8:30. The man reportedly suffered a head injury and was taken to the hospital. Ramapo Supervisor Michael Specht says they are trying to spread the word about how to be safe…
Specht says they are also looking to increase the number of sidewalks across town, and there are sashes available at town hall to provide extra visibility at night. Just this past Saturday an eleven year-old girl died of her injuries following an accident that occurred in March. Funeral services were held for the girl in Orange County on Sunday.
