Reply to comment by PrincipleOfMoments in Any update on the hit and run at Taqueria a couple weeks ago? by titaniumcrowbar
Lack of an update isn’t terribly surprising — what local news even exists anymore? Hoboken Girl?
Also this isn’t how things happened. The one video that’s been shared here shows the front passenger fleeing on foot. You can also see the beginnings of the rear driver side passenger, a woman with a stroller (possibly a child), exitIng. She then walked SE down Canal street alongside 235 Grand. Driver stayed in the vehicle less than a minute before driving off, on the same sidewalk as the female passenger, nearly hitting her & turning left eastbound onto Sussex.
Plenty of people were on the ground taking pictures/videoing. I saw at least one person clearly capture the license plate. Those individuals are apparently not choosing to share the video (or doing so elsewhere & it’s not making its way over to r/ JC).
All three passengers had apparently been in Taqueria antagonizing the staff before getting into the SUV idling on Grove. It could have been stolen. I only saw from the point where all three were in the vehicle, had already run into the two victims, and were in the process of turning around on Grand before Marin. They returned, did some donuts in the intersection, struck the front end of the black SUV (also seen in that video, disabled where it was hit), & left down Grand. They finally returned a third time a few minutes later, more intersection donuts, before reversing into Taqueria.
So nevermind accurate reporting on resolution of this mess, I haven’t seen very accurate reporting on the base facts of the night. Despite dozens of witnesses and multiple cameras out.
