Jamiesfeast – Dymond T. Fryson, 40, barely held on to life after the terrible crash at 7:52 a.m. on January 25 at the corner of Palmer and Sherman streets.
According to witnesses, the other driver, a Bogota High School student driving with a friend, ran numerous stop signs before colliding with Fryson’s 2022 Nissan Rogue three blocks from the high school.
The crash sent Fryson’s SUV into a house nearby.
The teen driver ran away, but Teaneck cops caught them soon after.
Teaneck firemen were able to free Fryson, and she was then rushed to Hackensack University Medical Center with serious injuries to her neck and spine. It was there the next day that she died.
Fryson was the caretaker for her young niece and had two girls. The accident happened as she was almost home after dropping off two of them at school.
It says that Fryson’s partner, Isaiah Brown, who is a dedicated school principal in the Bronx, is now raising three beautiful little girls and their loyal dog. There is a GoFundMe effort to help pay for the girls’ funeral and medical bills and to help them in the future.
On Monday, February 12, a viewing will be held at Second Canaan Baptist Church, 12 Lenox Ave. (111th Street), at the north end of Central Park in Manhattan, from 10 to 11 a.m., and services will go on until noon.
The burial will take place in Paramus’s George Washington Memorial Park.
Teenagers are not arrested in New Jersey, despite what some local news outlets say. Instead, they are taken into custody and charged with misbehavior. For the most part, it’s the same as being jailed as an adult. But the formal language is different.
The teenage driver in Teaneck was first given a delinquency report that accused him of assault by auto, leaving the scene of an accident causing serious bodily injury, and putting an injured victim in danger.
After that, he was taken to the Bergen County Juvenile Detention Center in Teterboro and then given to a guardian.
After Fryson’s death, the charges were raised, Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said on February 6.
The teen was let go until he had a hearing with a family court judge. Because of his age, the hearing will be private in the Hackensack County courtroom.
The Fatal Accident Investigations Unit at Musella, the police in Teaneck, and the Bergen County Sheriff’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation (which did the forensic collection) worked together to put together the proof.
