SAYREVILLE – A normal Sunday afternoon drive for an off-duty New Jersey State Police Correctional Officer quickly became a matter of life and death.
Faustino Saucedo, of Perth Amboy, was on his way to Carteret to pick up his wife when he saw several cars stopped on the side of the Route 9 bridge over the Raritan River. He immediately pulled over when he saw a man barely hanging onto the side of the bridge.
Shouts of “don t do it!” and no, no no! filled the air as bystanders rushed to the aid of the man who was leaning off the bridge, according to a video of the incident shot by a bystander.
