BD"E: Hit-and-Run on Carlton Road Results in Tragedy

Rockland Daily Staff

After a lengthy search for a woman reported missing Sunday afternoon, Mrs. Miriam Sussman, a"h, 52, was tragically found by a Rockland Chaverim volunteer early Monday morning thirty feet from the side of Carlton Road in Monsey. 

Mrs. Sussman was last seen at a pidyon haben and left around 4:45 pm on Sunday. She was found at 1 a.m. after Chaverim retraced the path she would have taken from the pidyon haben to her home. She was apparently the victim of a hit-and-run accident.

Rockland Hatzolah responded to the scene, but tragically it was too late to render assistance.

An investigation is underway by the Ramapo Police Department and Chaverim, who are reviewing video footage to assist police in determining how the tragedy occurred. Hamodia reports that witnesses have since come forward to say that the driver of the vehicle that most likely hit her spent twenty minutes searching unsuccessfully to find what they had hit.

Misaskim and Chesed Shel Emes were called to the scene to ensure kavod hameis.

"I join together with our entire community in mourning the tragic death of Mrs. Miriam Sussman on Sunday evening," Town of Ramapo Michael Specht shares with Rockland Daily readers. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the Sussman family during this trying time, and our hearts and minds are with the entire Ramapo community that is grieving this terrible loss. 

"The safety of all our residents is of paramount importance, and the Ramapo Police Department is thoroughly investigating the circumstances surrounding Mrs. Sussman’s untimely passing as she was evidently walking along Carlton Road. May the Sussman family know no further sorrow, and may Mrs. Miriam Sussman’s memory be a blessing."

The levaya is scheduled to take place at the Tolmoch Shul at 68 Carlton Road at 1 p.m. today. 

Police are asking that anyone with information about the hit-and-run contact the Ramapo Police Department at 845-357-2400.
