Woodbridge Teen In ICU After Being Hit By Car
Tyler Brown, a student at Colonia High School, remains in the ICU after he was hit Friday afternoon walking home with his brother.
WOODBRIDGE, NJ — The Colonia High School student who was hit by a car last Friday was apparently quite seriously injured in the incident, and a GoFundMe has been established for the young man.
The pair of twin brothers were walking down New Dover Road when they were hit by a single motor vehicle at around 2:54 p.m. Friday. The students were taken to University Hospital in Newark. One brother was not seriously injured, but sadly, his twin remains in the ICU and is fighting to survive, their family revealed.
"On Friday February 22 my cousins Kevin and Tyler Brown were walking home from school when they were struck by an SUV," their cousin wrote on the page. "Luckily Kevin is doing well, however Tyler is in the ICU currently fighting for his life. Once Tyler is stable he is going to have a long road to recovery ahead of him. This will cause a lot of medical bills as well as numerous other expenses to build up. If you can make any donation at all it would be greatly appreciated."
