UPDATE: Two Women Charged In Friday’s Crash Outside NPGS That Killed Hayeled Yitzchok Rosenberg A”H
Two women have been charged in connection with Friday’s crash outside NPGS that killed nine-month-old Hayeled Yitzchok Rosenberg A”H.
Maria CobonGuzman, 20, of Trenton, was charged with manslaughter, operating a motor vehicle without ever having possessed or been issued a valid driver’s license while involved in a fatal motor vehicle crash, and two counts of assault by auto.
Ariadna Lazaro-Flores, 22, of Toms River, was charged with knowingly engaging in conduct creating a substantial risk of death to another.
Federal immigration authorities have also lodged immigration detainers against both women.
Police responding to the scene found that a mother and her two minor children, a five-year-old girl and nine-month-old boy, had been struck by a vehicle.
All three victims were transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune. The mother and her five-year-old daughter remain hospitalized in stable condition. The nine-month-old boy, Hayeled Yitzchok Rosenberg A”H, was pronounced deceased at the hospital.
According to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, an investigation determined that CobonGuzman was driving a Ford Fusion through the parking lot when she struck the mother and the baby carriage carrying both children.
Investigators determined that CobonGuzman did not possess, and had never possessed, a valid driver’s license in New Jersey or any other state.
Investigators also determined that Lazaro-Flores was aware that CobonGuzman did not have a driver’s license but nevertheless permitted her to operate the vehicle.
Both women were taken into custody and transported to the Ocean County Jail, where they remain pending detention hearings.
The investigation remains ongoing.
