Andrew FinkelsteinA 24-year-old pedestrian was killed in a crash on Brick Boulevard in Brick on October 24, according to Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer. He was pronounced dead at the scene, and authorities have not released his name.
What Happened on Brick Boulevard
Brick police were called to the intersection of Brick Boulevard and North Lake Shore Drive at about 11:30 p.m. A Ford Taurus traveling southbound had struck the man, who was crossing the road. The driver of the Taurus continued a short distance on Brick Boulevard, then pulled over and walked back to the scene, Billhimer said.
Where the Brick Investigation Stands
The crash remains under investigation. The prosecutor's Vehicular Homicide Squad, Brick police, the Ocean County Sheriff's Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit and the county medical examiner's office are involved. No charges have been filed. The prosecutor's office has not named the driver.
Some evidence at a crash scene disappears within hours, so investigators record it first. The careful review of that evidence takes place later.

Here is what families in New Jersey usually need, in the order it comes up.
Death certificates. The funeral home or the family can order them, and banks and insurers each usually want a copy.
Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.
Funeral costs. Every state has a victim fund that pays funeral costs after some crashes, and the fund decides who qualifies.
Survivor payments. If the person who died had worked, their spouse or children may get monthly Social Security payments. Applying early matters.
