Lakewood, NJ - A Jackson woman remained in critical condition following a three-vehicle crash at North Hope Chapel Road and New Central Avenue which claimed the life of her mother Saturday night.
Beverly Hyman, 50, of Jackson was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash which happened just after 8 p.m. Saturday, said Patrolman Trevor Crowley of the traffic safety bureau.
In critical condition at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune was her daughter, Tamia Hyman, 21, who was taken there for treatment of a head injury, multiple compound fractures and internal injuries.
Beverly Hyman was a front seat passenger in a 2004 Mercury Mountaineer driven by her husband, Timothy Hyman, 51. Tamia Hyman was sitting in the back seat.
The Hyman vehicle was struck by a 2002 Honda minivan driven by Chana Neumann, 20, of Lakewood, who had a passenger, a 17-year-old Lakewood girl. The Neumann vehicle failed to stop at the stop sign on New Central Avenue and hit the Hyman vehicle and a pickup truck which were both traveling on North Hope Chapel Road.
The crash happened on wet roads and there was a torrential rain storm during the emergency response and subsequent investigation, Crowley said.
Crowley is investigating along with traffic safety officers Patrick Mackin and Joseph Candido.

What's your point...that Frum people are bad drivers? That's so crazy it doesn't deserve answering. Do YOU know the facts? Were cell phones really involved? Maybe you should say Tehillim for the injured girl. Oh, sorry, you're an ex-Frummie so you don't do G-d & His stuff, I guess.
What a horrible situation. The 17 year old driver of the other car will have to live with what she did (assuming it was her fault but I don't know). The problem is young inexperienced drivers, powerful machines, & dark roads.
By the way, was the stop sign hidden by trees? That is a real problem in more rural areas. If you don't know the roadds well you may miss them.

Yeah. The non frummies that text message while they drive, drive drunk and high on drugs and are wrapped up in all sorts of elevated thoughts that are unfit to mention on this blog, they certainly never get into accidents.

#1 you just sound like a real ignorant moron, didn't you here about the accidents across the USA (you make it sound like this is the only accident in the us) this is just another tragic road accident - it was raining - no claim that driver of the Honda was talking on her cellphone. don't jump to conclusions, and don't blame people who are not to be blamed. and don't claim that frum people disregard life, since everyone with an open mind knows that it's not true. except if you have the sick liberal mindset that spanking or smacking your child to make him obey is Child Abuse, but if you would have killed that child in the ninth month it's perfectly fine

Yes, I can read quite well, thank you. I mastered level 4 in my elementary school primer.
If you go back to the original article, the police are appealing for witnesses. Could it be they aren't certain what happened? Do YOU know FOR A FACT what occurred? Could it be she couldn't stop on the wet road, that the brakes may have failed, that she hydroplaned (wow, I can spell too!) on the road surface?
Yes, she killed a woman. Does that necessarily mean it was more than just a tragic accident? The point is, nobody knows right now. So who is being judgmental, Mr. Ex-Frummie? Oh, but of course, only irreligious people can be right. Accidents are never caused by non-Frum Jews or even goyim, are they? When there's blame to be apportioned, it must be placed squarely at the feet of the religious Jews. Maybe if you hate your neighbors so much it's time to move. I hear Harlem is getting quite white these days.

I have no idea what really happened but in Brooklyn there is a sickness of frum women very often driving while holding cell phones, which is against local law.

Oct 29, 2008 at 08:17 AM would rather walk Says:
The driver was 20 and the passenger was 17, making the driver and adult. An accident is not necessarily vehicular homicide. The religion of the at-fault driver is irrelevant, but Jews should realize that traffic law as well as natural law applies equally to everyone. Everyone should slow down and drive more cautiously and avoid multi-tasking behind the wheel. Drivers at fault in fatal accidents may have trouble retaining insurance, face a heavy fine, possibly a lawsuit, may have license suspension, but most likely will avoid jail (unless drugs, alcohol or reckless driving was involved). This should be a wake up call for all drivers, Jewish or otherwise; if it is raining, go below the speed limit.

Did anyone mention cell phones in the original article? This is how vicious rumors start. One idiot decides to pontificate on a particular hypothesis (theory) & the rest of you decide it's a fact.
Not one of us knows what really happened. It may well be that all the people involved don't really know either. These things happen so fast.
People, try not to make such fools of yourselves by paskening shaalos. Nobody asked you to be on a jury, thank G-d! You weren't there, you don't know. You read as much as the rest of us. What's so difficult to understand??

I am not going to say this ONLY happens in Lakewood, but it seems to be prevalent: people walk into the road with out even looking (I see it the whole time - especially kids) AND people drive around with no care to other drivers or pedestrians.
Its time for a road safety awareness campaign.

Ex Frummies's mind is already made up. Please, everyone, stop trying to confuse him/her with the facts.
To self-hating Jews like ex-frummie all 50,000 traffic deaths in the USA every year are the fault of kollel wives on cell funs and kollel members' heads being lost in learning.
Ignore him/her. You don't need to point out that he/she is a self hating Jew. He/she already let everyone know.

Oct 29, 2008 at 10:27 AM Future Ex EX frumie Says:
I think the point is that these accidents happen all the time, jewish and non jewish, BUT this is a good opportunity to raise awareness of the issues that do in fact plague drivers in our communities, especially in lakewood where i live.
Women on cells phone constantly, men holding gemorahs as they drive ( like hashem will reward them for their piety on that one) - kids jumping around moving cars with no car seats or bels, men picking up strange teenage boys for rides all over town.
Did i forget to mention the seat-belt less rov who nearly ran me and our baby carriage over after he drove on the wrong side of the road, too impatient to wait for a right turning car?
Or how about the 3 bochurim on cell phones driving at least 55 down sunset road , swerving to avoid a legally turning car, and when confronted in the parking lot of the shul: "nu, nu, we were late for mincha" * once again, im sure hashem will be very proud of these boys for their sacrifices to make minyan on time
How can i neglect to mention the woman with an infact ON HER LAP driving through the development "uch, uch, im late for playgroup" was her response when i questioned her great parenting
One of my personal favorites, the beared, black hated, tzitzit wearing guy smoking in his car, with his children inhaling the cancerous smoke. Dont worry, hashem will look past that because you sacrifice so much and race to minyan 3 times a day
The bottom line is, while there are bad drivers anywhere, we scold this woman because this is our home town, and these problems do exist and we need to highlight them at every opportunity,

Finally, some constructive comments. R"L it is only at times like this that voices like these are noticed. That should not be the case but it should also not be the case that because some in Lakewood (as everywhere else) are not careful on the road we run to blame this accident on reckless actions we don't even know happened.

Look, you idiot: it's the fact that you hate religious people so much, to the point that you won't deal with this as a tragedy but rather as an indictment of frum people in general. buddy, i don't know and no longer care what happened to you that turned you off from religion, but your heart and soul are black holes. you'd make a good muslim.

Oct 29, 2008 at 12:57 PM learned the facts Says:
The driver of the minivan ran a stop sign at New Central road. Two vehicles were struck who were traveling on the cross road which was Hope Road. The road was wet. There were 2 passengers in a pick-up truck which was also struck. Most of the injuries suffered by the passengers were minor except for Beverly Hyman and her 21yr old daughter. The article does not specify the injuries but it appears as though the driver and her passenger did sustain some degree of injury themselves. It just shows that life and death are a split second apart. I have a feeling that the driver is normally a responsible adult.

Oct 29, 2008 at 02:18 PM Jacobson Says:
This is so sad. It happened moments after shabbos ended. Yes that woman is at fault failing to stop at the stop sign. She has killed an innocent woman, with a family. No matter what her punishment is, she will have to live with this guilt the rest of her life. Her conscience is sentencing her to life in heck. My deepest condolences to the family who lost their loved one. The signs may seem stupid or pointless to some, but they are there for OUR protection. They were not put there for fun. If you do not remember the rules of the road in New Jersey, please, reread the drivers manual, and have respect for the road and it's drivers.

since youre the only intelligent poster here ill answer you-obviously i feel really bad for the girl since accidents do unfortunately happen ,however im shocked that people cold feel more sympathy for her and disregard the fact that she was at fault and killed a woman now the point i was making is that people in lkwd should be more considerate as i said i lived here and theyre terrible drivers but i wasnt condemning her or lakewood (and i didnt say she was on a cellphone)

Ex frummie, whatever belief you practice, how would you feel if this girl was your daughter? In one rushed, hurried, distracted moment, she snuffed out a life, severely injured a woman close to her in age, and caused a family tremendous anguish. Ex frummie, how many near misses have you yourself had behind the wheel? She faces a lifetime of guilt as well as other possible repercussions. The family of the dead and injured indeed deserves sympathy but this girl's life is also forever altered. This was not a premeditated crime. This girl did not set out to kill anyone. The girl's family must now deal with what happened and while I am sure that they have concerns that you cannot relate to, they have plenty of concerns that any individual who values human life can understand.

that Frum people are bad drivers? That's so crazy it doesn't deserve answering. Do YOU know the facts? Were cell phones really involved? >>>>>>>>>>>>
I would not judge this poor girl but a 20 year old under any circumstance should not be driving in such weather. These type of accidents are very common with 20 year olds and this is why insurance companies charge much more for young drivers. Stats show that 90% of accidents of 25 year old drivers and under, accidents happen with the first year of driving and within 1 mile of the home of the driver.
As for frum people not knowing how to drive, i totally agree. Why don't you stand on the corner of 13Ave and 48 ST during the day and pick whichever hour you want and you will see 7 out of 10 drivers talking on cell phones, not wearing seatbelts, not signaling, going through red lights and stopping in middle of a crosswalk , dropping off people in middle of the street and blcoking traffic because it only takes " a minute" to drop off" and g-d forbid to let someone pass, and double parking all the time.
FRUM people for the most part have no regard for others and when the city tickets these jerks all we hear is how "racist" , mean, and unfair these ticket agents are and to top that off the idiots run to Simcha Felder and lie and make up stories how they got tickets "unfairly."
I challenge anyone to prove me wrong. Stand on 13 Ave 48 St and just watch for 10 minutes and come back with your findings.

Don't make a chillul Hashem by cursing out the frei person on his beliefs and not addressing the issue. If a person driving a car thinks in learning to the point he is distracted from his driving, then he is a Rodef. A rodef is just as frei as this guy even if he thinks in learning all day!
