Reading, PA (November 21, 2022) – Around 10 p.m. on the night of Saturday, November 19, a toddler was killed in a fatal car accident in Reading.

According to local officials, the accident happened at the intersection of Centre Avenue and Oley Street on Saturday night. Police confirmed that 46-year-old Ebrima Jarjusey was traveling westbound in an SUV when the driver was involved in a collision with a southbound SUV being operated by 22-year-old Isaiah Rakiem. Police confirmed that there is no stop sign or traffic light at the intersection for those headed in opposite directions.

Jarjusey was the only occupant inside their vehicle and was hospitalized. The other SUV had a total of seven occupants, including several children. A 1-year-old child, who was hospitalized with severe injuries, was tragically pronounced dead at a local hospital. A 2-year-old was also seriously injured in the accident. Other parties inside the SUV were hurt but their current conditions are not yet known.

The roadway was blocked at the intersection for several hours until the scene was fully cleared by police.

No further details have been released but police continue their investigation. They will update with new information as it becomes available.

We offer our warmest condolences to the family and friends of the toddler whose life was taken in this accident. We also hope that all of the injured parties receive a full recovery.
