In Nutley, 9-year-old girl out for Halloween is struck and killed by SUV

Two children out Halloween trick-or-treating Saturday night were hit by an SUV as they crossed the street, leaving one dead and the other in critical condition, police said.

Why was she trick or treating in Nutley, if she's from E.O.?

My heart goes out to the families that suffered the loss of their child on Halloween day. So sad to hear that had to happen. If people would just realize that it is Halloween and there are Trick or Treaters who are just little kids in costumes, they should be MUCH MORE careful when driving their cars!! SHAME ON THAT DRIVER IN THE SUV!
Should go to jail!

Looks like shes going be a ghost a lot longer than one night.

So sorry for the loss of this innocent child. The adults in charge should keep these kids in their own neighborhoods and not be trucking them to Nutley homes. Every year there are large groups brought to town from Newark and elsewhere for the better pickings in Nutley. Very few Nutley children were Trick or Treating at 8 PM in the evening. Come on..stay in E.O. especially after dark!!

i cant beleive what i am hearing in these comments maybe they should have stayed in there own town but they thought nutley was a safer place to bring their children as a parent i can relate to that a innocent child is dead and all people can do is judge unbeleivable the compassion is over whelming and i dont think the driver should be persecuted until it is proven he was neglegent a three yr old should hold the hand of the parent NOT ANOTHER CHILD they can break away easily and run into the street that man has to live with this the rest of his life if he even can
