Parkway of Secrets: NJ State Police Hunt for Ghost Drivers in Fatal Hit-and-Run

The Garden State Parkway, a highway that fuels New Jersey’s pulse, now harbors a chilling mystery. Jose Cerda-Estevez, 33, of Plainfield, is dead—struck down in a hit-and-run horror that has left authorities grasping at shadows.

Picture the scene: the hum of engines, the blur of taillights—then, a sickening impact. But instead of brakes screeching and drivers stopping, there was only the roar of engines disappearing into the night. Multiple vehicles ran him down, each driver choosing cowardice over conscience, leaving nothing but a shattered life and a trail of unanswered questions.

Now, New Jersey State Police are on the hunt, chasing down leads, searching for the ghost drivers who turned the Parkway into their crime scene. They're not just looking for cars—they're looking for guilt-ridden consciences, for the one witness who saw something, anything. A sudden swerve, a hesitation, a moment of indecision—that could be the thread that pulls this mystery into the light.

But this isn’t just a police investigation—this is a test of our humanity. We've all driven that road. What if it was you? What if it was someone you loved? Would you want this silence? Would you let the guilty fade into the night without consequence?

So think back—were you on the Parkway that evening? Did you see a reckless car, a moment of chaos, anything unusual? Don’t dismiss it. Don’t stay silent. It could be the key to cracking this case wide open.

The drivers who left Jose Cerda-Estevez to die on that road are now ghosts, hiding in the shadows. But ghosts can be exposed. With your help, NJ State Police can drag them into the light and deliver justice.

Don’t let the Parkway become a graveyard of indifference. If you have any information, contact the New Jersey State Police now. Justice needs a voice. Make sure it’s heard.
