It was a nightmarish scenario, scary, life-altering when
25-year old John Troncone of Jackson ended up losing his leg due to critical injuries suffered when he was hit by an oncoming vehicle driven by 44-year old Robin Smith of Berkeley at the intersection of Whitesville Road and Route 70.
Right then and there, Christopher Drago called 9-1-1 to report the accident, Miguel Otero removed Troncone s shirt to use as a tourniquet in controlling the bleeding from his leg and Joseph Drago removed his belt to use it as a tourniquet as well, township officials said.
