Hit And Run Cranford New Jersey in Cranford, New Jersey: On September 29, 2025, just before 5:30 p.m., two 17-year-old girls riding an E-bike were struck by a car allegedly driven by 18-year-old Vincent Battiloro on Burnside Avenue in Cranford, New Jersey, while he was driving 70 miles per hour. Maria Niotis and Isabella Salas were transported to area hospitals, where they were pronounced dead. Battiloro, from nearby Garwood, was located later that day and taken into custody, and on Friday was charged as an adult with two counts of first-degree murder following a comprehensive investigation by the Union County Prosecutor's Office. The article also notes that Battiloro allegedly swatted Niotis' home multiple times before the crash and taunted the family in a livestream days after. This is court/charging coverage of a fatal hit-and-run-style vehicular homicide case.
