A press release from the Prosecutor’s Office states that, “At approximately 12:30 a.m. on November 15, 2024, the Kearny Police Department was notified of a collision in the area of Newark-Jersey City Turnpike and Fish House Road. Responding officers located a Jeep Compass, driven by Molesky, which had struck a Ford F-150. The driver of the Ford, a 56-year-old Pennsylvania male, suffered serious injuries.
