Teenager Killed In Bicycle Accident
In July 2023, a teenager was struck and killed while he was riding his bicycle in a New Jersey community. 14-year-old Bryan Barbosa was tragically killed while riding his bike at an intersection in South River. Struck by a white work van, Bryan was rushed to the hospital but couldn’t be saved. The news sent shockwaves through the close-knit town, leaving residents devastated.
The driver, instead of helping, fled the scene. However, a swift and thorough investigation by the South River Police Department and the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office led them to identify and apprehend 63-year-old Michael Arena. Arena is facing serious charges, including aggravated manslaughter for causing a death through reckless action and leaving the scene of a fatal accident. A guilty conviction would come with a lengthy sentence.
South River residents along with Bryan’s family and friends celebrated his life at a vigil. A community vigil held over the weekend offered a space for friends, family, and neighbors to share their grief and celebrate Bryan’s memory. The investigation into the accident is ongoing, with authorities piecing together the events that led to this heartbreaking tragedy.
