Not blaming the cop for the kids’ actions but why did he let that kid go again? He said he saw him do 100mph, run a red light, and on a provisional licence. Clearly driving dangerously. Why wasn’t he breathalysed, checked for drugs or locked up? More than enough evidence to keep him from getting back behind the wheel. Why was he so lenient?

I’ve seen cops pull people over for way less.

Ultimately the kid is responsible for killing himself and his girlfriend but that cop could have done more

Maybe if the kid was white, they cops could have prevented this tragedy. Unfortunately the kids were just brown enough to be in the US protected class where cops get prosecuted for handing out the tiniest infractions and entire cities get looted and burned for completely lawful and community beneficial police actions.

Like the cop said in the video, the parents even knew he had a habit of speeding and asked him not to get such a fast car after just getting his license . Sad.

I live near there, but haven't been keeping up with the news lately so this is the first I'm hearing about it. Sad but sooooo fucking preventable if you just stop trying to be a show-off in front of a girl and just drive like a normal person.

Here’s the information I found of the accident and the victims.

Around 1:49 AM on August 4, 2021, Officer Jon Nunez with the North Bergen Police Department stopped a 2022 Kia Stinger at 61st Street and Kennedy Boulevard for excessive speeding and reckless driving. He made contact with driver and his passenger, who were identified as 24-year-old L.F.C (male) and 27-year-old A.R. (female). AR told the officer that they were on their first date, and she blamed herself for his reckless driving because she was in a rush to get home. Officer Nunez reassured AR that it was not her fault and issued LFC 3 citations for reckless driving, failure to observe a flashing traffic signal, and violation of restrictions on a provisional license. Before letting him drive away, Officer Nunez reminded LFC to drive responsibly to avoid a fatal accident. The traffic stop was cleared around 2:02 AM.

Around 2:13 AM, Officer Jessica Toro transmitted over the police radio a motor vehicle accident involving a tractor trailer on Route 1-9 and 36th Street, and Officer Nunez (the same officer) responded. As he approached the scene of the accident, he observed the same vehicle that he had just stopped a few minutes earlier. The occupants of the Kia Stinger appeared lifeless and he immediately called for a crash team to investigate a fatal accident. While it was apparent that the driver was LFC, Officer Kevin Rodriguez looked through AR’s purse to determine her identity because Officer Nunez had not asked AR for her identification during the traffic stop.

Sergeant Schubert, Sergeant Yousef, Officer Rodriguez, Officer Perez, Officer Vitali, and Officer Sloan arrived on scene shortly afterwards. ALS Unit 476 and North Bergen EMS South also arrived on scene. Both the driver and occupant of the vehicle were pronounced deceased on scene by a doctor at 2:26 AM. After they were pronounced deceased, Sergeant Tattoli contacted both the North Arlington Police and the Bergenfield Police to make Next of Kin notifications.

As Officer Nunez proceeded to collect documentation from the truck driver and get his account of what happened, he told Officer Nunez that he was backing into 36th Street to make a delivery at the loading dock of Pat LaFrieda Meat Purveyors. As he was backing in, the Kia Stinger which was traveling southbound struck his tractor trailer at an excessive rate of speed. Officer Vitali eventually transported the truck driver to police headquarters so he could provide them with a voluntary statement.

Sergeant Tattoli informed the Hudson County Medical Examiner’s Office about the fatal accident. Around 2:45 AM, Detective Mena arrived along with Officer Suarez to conduct their investigation. Sergeant Ragland from the Hudson County Prosecutors Collision Unit arrived on scene at 3:37 AM. An investigator from the Medical Examiner’s Office arrived at 5:35 AM and they removed both the remains at 6:10 AM. The Kia Stinger was towed from the scene at 6:30 AM and the roadway was back in service by 6:45 AM.

At 1:00 PM, Detective Mena returned to Tumino’s Towing with Secaucus Police Lieutenant Martin Moreda, a member of the Hudson County Regional Crash Team. They removed the EDR (event data recorder) from the Kia Stinger and Lieutenant Moreda had the information downloaded. By 7:00 PM, Lieutenant Moreda determined that 5 seconds prior to impact, the Kia Stinger was traveling at 124 MPH (181.784 feet per second). At the moment of impact, the Kia Stinger was traveling at 68 MPH (99.688 feet per second). On August 24, 2021, Detective Mena concluded his investigation and determined that if the driver had been driving at the posted speed limit instead of 124 MPH, this fatal accident would not have happened.
