Askonim and authorities moments ago have released the name of the person struck and killed last night in Lakewood.
The man was identified as R’ Peretz Scheinerman, 61, who recently moved from Eretz Yisroel.
The subsequent investigation by Lakewood PD, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Department CSI found that a 2015 Kia Sportage being driven by a Lakehurst resident, was traveling east on Rt. 528 when he struck R’ Peretz just east of the Hillside Boulevard crosswalk with the front passenger side of his vehicle. R’ Scheinerman Z”L was pronounced deceased at Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus.
“A statement, blood draw and forensic cell phone review will all be part of the continuing investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident,” the Prosecutor’s Office said. “The vehicle was removed from the scene and transported to OC Sheriff’s Department-CSI, pending a search warrant.”
Askonim are working with officials to expedite the release of the body to enable to Kevurah in New York before Shabbos.
In a frightening twist, R’ Peretz Z”L was killed on the Yahrtzeit of his grandfather, Reb Peretz Scheinerman Z”L, whom he is named after, family tells TLS. His grandfather was also killed by a vehicle over 60 years ago.
A Levaya for a few minutes will be held at the 7th Street Chapel in Lakewood at approximately 11:45 AM, and the Niftar will then be brought to New York for Kevurah.

Why do we need to know that his grandfather was killed also by a vehicle.
Is that really so important for us to know? Let’s say that 1 relative said that it was okay to report it, maybe some of the people that will be sitting Shiva got offended that this detail also got reported?
We need to treat the story of another person as if we are all close family.
avraham, why are you so bent on not reporting that? Do you know that the family will be offended?

Reb Peretz was a wonderful person.
Was a true Lev Tov.
May the family have a Nechama and only know of Simchos in their Mishpacha.
Does he have a son called Yosef a Rebbi in Roosevelt? Anyone know?
Jay…thats a cousin not his son.
Avraham…you are way too energized on anger, let it be, its always a nice point by quoting the story which shows the ways of Hashem.
Are you also one of those people blowing up over every little negative thing in this town?
I knew Reb Peretz. He was such a sweet man! I had the zechus to know him. Such a chein to him! As said above, he was such a Lev tov!
There was a beautiful article about the Scheinerman mishpocho in the OU magazine a year or two ago. It led to a family gathering in Baltimore with 100s of participants. Many rabbonim and marbitzei Torah from this family who came to the USA over 120 years ago and were medakdek bemitzvos and dedicated to chinuch over the children when it was uncommon.
That is so sad i’m not Jewish but i feel bad for the family especially around Purim. May the family get through this sad time
