"In response to the release of CCTV video of the collision between Jersey City Councilwoman Amy DeGise and a cyclist, occurring at Forrest Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive at 8 am, Tuesday, July 19, Jersey City advocacy nonprofits SafeStreetsJC and Bike JC make the following statement:
We reiterate that no matter the circumstances or outcomes, all hit-and-runs deserve the utmost condemnation. It is never acceptable to leave the scene of a crash. It is not only criminal—it reduces the chance someone injured gets timely, possibly life-saving aid.
On Tuesday, July 26, a video recording the hit-and-run incident was released. The video shows a cyclist crossing Forrest Street on MLK southbound. Councilwoman DeGise’s vehicle is shown driving through the intersection eastbound, colliding with the cyclist with enough force to send him flying over the hood of DeGise’s vehicle and hard onto the pavement. The video evidence is clear and irrefutable: DeGise made no effort to slow down, stop, or check on the cyclist. Many neighbors in the immediate aftermath rushed to the cyclist’s aid."
