I live down the road and heard the sirens about an hour ago. I just went to take a ride to get gas and there must have been at least 10 or so emergency vehicles that I could see on the Holmdel side of the hill that the accident occurred on. After looping around through Pleasant Valley to the other side there were even more police and first responders. So far I haven't heard the medevac come in, usually they land not too far from here.

That stretch of 34 is very dangerous. You have two lanes heading south and one north over a blind hill. The speed limit is 50mph. Perhaps this accident will cause someone to consider dropping the speed limit for the 1/2 mile or so where 34 runs through Marlboro.

I heard the sirens too...this is my neighborhood with many friends and clients. I pray everyone is safe. I don't like this at all.

My spiritual brother was involved in te accident. I am at the hospital now. Apparently it was a head on collision. My brother only suffered a knee injury however the other victim ahead passed from the accident. Please remember us in your prayers and pray for the reposed soul.

Our best wishes and prayers go out to those injured, and our condolences to those who've lost a loved one. Unfortunately, a "blind hill" is road a design problem. This is a serious NJ issue. With the most municipalities per capital (more municipalities than California), the way intersections are treated varies from town to town. This increases confusion and causes accidents. Here it sounds as if a center barrier is the real fix, even if just on that stretch of hill.

NJ municipal/county roads/streets officials would be wise to follow and use the guides from The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials when updating/fixing roads/streets. Their guides are available here:

The other victim was my cousin....please continue your prayers our family is rocked by this

The lack of "lane ends" signs, and any signage warning about this blind spot was noted by a staffer of mine on day one. That said, if I'm commenting on how to make roads safer and reduce accidents, based upon Jersey Native's supposed economic motives, I'm costing myself business.

Discusses ways to handle this issue. As is, the horrible condition of the road pavement has drivers weaving all over the road, and several driveways on the north side exist.There is no flashing light, no warning sign, no visual narrowing - simply the same road that was there in the 1950's - when most cars couldn't accelerate up a hill, on bad road, and reliably stay under driver control.

Roads, sadly for all of out there, in NJ frequently aren't looked at in context of problem and solution. This is a dangerous intersection, on a state highway, that needs to be examined by experienced transportation officials.

Rest in Paradise Twizzy... I Love and Miss u Brother..
