The tragedy comes just weeks after another fatal crash involving a young child in the region. Last month, 8-year-old Charlotte Herzberg was killed in a separate traffic incident, renewing concerns about pedestrian safety in the community.

Authorities have not released details on the circumstances of Wednesday’s crash, and the incident remains under investigation. Funeral arrangements were not immediately announced.

Just last week, the Ramapo Police Department conducted a pedestrian safety campaign, with officers distributing 98 safety flyers and encouraging residents to use designated crosswalks when crossing streets. In a social media post, the department emphasized that “a few extra steps to a crosswalk can make all the difference” and thanked residents for helping improve community safety.
