Senator McKnight Releases Statement on Family Members of Fatal Newark Car Crash 

Senator Angela V. McKnight released the following statement in response to a fatal car accident that occurred on Friday, December 6, in Newark, claiming the lives of six passengers.

Two of the vehicle's passengers, Lamar and Darryl McKnight, were members of Senator McKnight’s family. Lamar McKnight was an active member of the Jersey City community and worked as head football coach at Hudson Catholic High School. Darryl McKnight was a counselor and a retail worker.

“It is with profound sadness that we mourn the unimaginable loss of six lives taken far too soon, including my family members, Lamar and Darryl McKnight. Cousins to my husband, Anthony McKnight, Lamar and Darryl were two brothers who touched countless lives within our family and the broader community. Their loss leaves an immeasurable hole in our hearts that words cannot fully express.

"The outpouring of love, support, and prayers during this difficult time has been a true source of comfort, and I am deeply and forever grateful for the kindness shown to Darryl and Lamar's parents, Natasha McKnight and Darryl Williams, and the rest of our family. I extend my heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of the additional passengers of this devastating tragedy. May we honor each of their memory by remembering the joy they brought into our lives,” said Senator McKnight (D-Hudson).
