Cranford Teen Deaths: Community Alleges Stalking Preceded Fatal Incident
Cranford, New Jersey – A quiet community in Cranford is reeling from the tragic deaths of two 17-year-old girls, identified as Maria and Isabella, who were struck and killed by a driver on a residential street. The incident, initially described by officials as an e-bike hit-and-run, has taken a darker turn as local residents reveal allegations of a prolonged stalking campaign against one of the victims by the alleged driver.Residents on the block where the girls lived expressed profound devastation and frustration. One resident, speaking to FOX 5 NY, stated, "The school was notified. The police were notified. And nothing happened." Another added, "He has been parked up front of her house, online, and following her. It was for three months now. And nothing happened. He was never stopped." These statements suggest a history of reported concerns that allegedly went unaddressed.The victims, both students at Cranford High School, were riding their bikes down a quiet street after 5:30 PM yesterday when they were hit by a black Jeep SUV. The impact was reportedly so severe that both girls died. The driver, also identified as 17 years old, fled the scene, dragging one of the bikes underneath the car for a significant distance before being apprehended.A growing memorial of flowers, balloons, and teddy bears now marks the scene of the tragedy, as community members gather to mourn and pay their respects. The mayor of Cranford has confirmed the girls were students at the local high school. The incident has left a tight-knit community in shock, questioning how such a tragedy could occur despite alleged prior warnings.
