VIDEO/ Serious accident in New Jersey, car hits two women as they were crossing at a crosswalk, they tragically lose their lives

A serious accident was recorded last Saturday in New Jersey, where two women tragically lost their lives after being struck by a car while crossing a pedestrian crossing on their way home following a World Cup match on Saturday.

According to foreign sources, the video shows 58-year-old Mariana Elizabeth Valverde Beltran and 61-year-old Maria Isabel DeLos Angeles Salgado Ayala crossing an intersection in Newark when a speeding car suddenly hit them, causing their deaths.

It is learned that the driver of the car was 26-year-old David J. Zapata-Vera, who was identified by traffic cameras. A witness described him as pressing the gas pedal and speeding through the pedestrian crossing as the traffic light was about to turn red.

The 26-year-old from Newark turned himself in to police on Tuesday, three days after the fatal accident, and is being held in custody without bail. He is charged with second-degree reckless vehicular homicide, second-degree leaving the scene of a traffic accident resulting in death, and third-degree endangering an injured victim.
