A 44-year-old office worker is reported by Red Bank police to be in critical condition after being run over by an SUV on Broad Street Monday afternoon.
Alla Tsiring, a borough Staten Island resident, was helicoptered to Jersey Shore Medical Center shortly before 5p after having first been transported by local first-aiders to Riverview Medical Center. The transfer took place in the parking lot at Count Basie Fields.
The accident left Tsiring trapped beneath the vehicle, which was driven by a borough resident, 37-year-old Diana Palma, police Captain Darren McConnell said in a prepared statement issued this morning.
