Ridgefield Girl, 15, Identified As Victim In Fatal Crash

RIDGEFIELD, NJ — After a 15-year-old Ridgefield girl was struck and killed by a vehicle at an intersection over the weekend, a North Jersey school community is rallying to support her family.

Family members identified Serenity Law as the pedestrian killed on Sunday night. She was a member of the class of 2027 at Ridgfield High School.

Prosecutors said the teen was hit at the intersection of Shaler Boulevard and Edgewater Avenue at approximately 7:37 p.m. Sunday. She was pronounced dead at Hacksensack University Medical Center.

Prosecutors have not yet said if there will be charges in the crash.

Serenity's father, Cordero Law, works for Clifton Public Schools on the maintenance team, and fellow Clifton schools community members have set up a GoFundMe for the family to help with hospital bills and funeral expenses.

Under a photo of Cordero hugging his daughter, organizers wrote, "We are rallying together to support Cordero Law, a cherished member of the Clifton Public Schools community, during this heartbreaking time. Cordero recently endured the unimaginable loss of his beloved daughter, Serenity Law, who was tragically taken from us at the tender age of 15. Serenity's bright spirit illuminated the lives of those around her, and her untimely passing has left a profound void in the hearts of all who knew her."

The fundraiser organizers said the incident has "shaken our community to its core" and that other parents and employees are looking for ways to help Cordero and his family.

Donors had raised more than $24,000 as of Tuesday at 10:30 a.m.
