Robert E. Hyer Jr., 63, of Tenafly, was killed Oct. 25, 2016, as he crossed East Clinton Avenue at Woodland Street in Tenafly, according to a lawsuit filed March 13 in Bergen County Superior Court.

The driver was Raffaella Garritano, 58, of Englewood Cliffs, according to attorneys for Hyer’s wife Andrea McDermott Hyer, 54.

“Garritano operated that vehicle in such an inattentive, careless, reckless and negligent manner so as to strike and violently knock (the victim) to the ground,” the suit states.

  1. Of course she’s suing….it’s always someone else’s fault.

  2. Pedestrians really need to be more aware of their surroundings.
    I swear some are suicidal… dark clothes, in the street nowhere near a crosswalk etc

  3. Come on, commenters, have some empathy. You don’t know the details about the incident, you’re just seeing in it what you want to see.
