Toni Yates has the details on the arrest made in a deadly hit-and-run in Paramus. Tuesday, October 20, 2026 10:28PMPARAMUS, New Jersey -- A 31-year-old woman from the Bronx died after she was run over following a crash on Route 17 in Paramus, New Jersey, authorities said. Krisiann Reyes Rivera later died from her injuries at Hackensack University Medical Center. Estuardo Rodriguez, 31, of Tarrytown, New York, is facing multiple charges in connection with her death. The incident happened just after 5 p.m. Monday on Route 17 southbound. The Bergen County Prosecutor's Office said Rodriguez was driving an Acura SUV towing a U-Haul trailer when he struck the back of a Buick Enclave in which Rivera was a passenger. Rivera got out of the Buick and approached Rodriguez's vehicle, banging on the car. Court documents say Rodriguez accelerated to leave, and the rear tires of the trailer ran over Rivera, causing fatal injuries. Police said a group of civilians cornered Rodriguez's vehicle about a half-mile from the scene and remained there until officers arrived. Authorities allege Rodriguez was also driving under the influence of alcohol.

Saturday evenings spent wandering the aisles of a video rental store, searching for the perfect movie to accompany a cosy night in was a familiar ritual for generations of families from the mid-70s through to the early 2010s. These days, the ritual looks a little different, replaced by endless scrolling through streaming services, only to find something most in the room will watch with one eye, the other fixed on their phone.
