Authorities Identify Woman Fatally Struck While Crossing Route 46 in Parsippany

DEBARYLIFE – The identity of the pedestrian who struck on Monday on Route 46 in Parsippany and killed has been made public by the Morris County Prosecutor-Office.

As Sonia Diaz, 73, of Bayonne tried to cross Route 46 at around 11 a.m. on Monday, the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office reports that she was hit by a Jeep Grand Cherokee, which subsequently collided with a Kia Forte.

At that moment, Diaz was declared dead. Investigations are ongoing, however, both drivers stayed at the site and no summonses have been issued as of yet.

Congestion and confusion among drivers have historically plagued this intersection and the surrounding region of Route 46 near Beverwyck Road, despite being one of the busiest commercial corridors in the area.

For the past few months, there has been an enigmatic appearance and disappearance of a ‘No U-turn’ sign, which has confused Parsippany officials and drivers alike.

The sign facing eastward was erroneous, and it was taken down on Wednesday, January 24, a Department of Transportation official recently told the Daily Record.

Westbound traffic is still directed by the No U-turn sign. According to the evidence, a large number of cars either missed the sign or chose to ignore it.

The area is already crowded, but it could get busier soon with the construction of a Chick-fil-A and plans to build an entertainment complex called Top Golf.

The NJ Transit bus station is located at this extremely busy crossroads, which is highly noteworthy.
