Union County

Union County is hosting its Pumpkin Recycling Program for 2025 in November at six sites, collecting old Halloween pumpkins jack-o-lanterns, and gourds to be recycled and make for a greener community.

State Sen. Jon Bramick says two recent encounters on the phone with utilities that serve New Jersey made him concerned about possible phishing scams against consumers.

Cranford police chief Matthew Nazarro told the township committee it is critical for the public to support the families of the victims and to not speculate online about the case.

A week after two 17-year-old girls were killed on an e-bike after being struck by a Jeep that targeted them at 70 mph many questions surround the case including whether or not the suspect will be charged as an adult.

Ryan Greco, who retired as Cranford's police chief in December, said he believes there was enough evidence to charge and detained the night a fatal crash took the lives of two teenage best friends.

Neighbors told ABC 7 Eyewitness News that one of the girls had a restraining order against the driver after he harassed her at school and often sat in his vehicle outside her home.

Effective immediately, Union County has banned the use of e-bikes and electric scooters in all of its parks, following the death of a 13 year old Scotch Plains boy.

Union County Prosecutor William Daniel said both individuals were struck by the same vehicle on Burnside Avenue in Cranford late Monday afternoon by a driver who left the scene on foot but was later located and taken into custody.

A heartbreaking day for Cranford as two young lives were cut short in a tragic accident. The community is coming together in response to this loss.

Scotch Plains mayor Joshua G. Losardo said the collision between a landscaping truck and e-bike happened at 2:12 p.m. at the intersection of Mountain Avenue and Mountainview Avenue.
