A New Jersey councilwoman is facing backlash with calls for her to resign after she allegedly slammed into an UberEats cyclist with her SUV and then sped away without stopping to help. The incident caught on camera.
The stunning surveillance footage appears to show Amy DeGise hitting Andrew Black at 8 a.m. on July 19, sending him flying over the vehicle’s hood and falling to the ground, according to reports.
“I look left, suddenly I just hear ‘Ba[m].’ I get hit,” 29-year-old Black said, “I roll over and I’m in such pain.”
The video appears to show the lawmaker driving away from the intersection in a Nissan Rogue without attempting to stop and help Black.
Black did not have any major injuries but is angry,
“Someone of prestige [who is] demanding to uphold and clean our streets or whatever they’re calling it… can’t even do it themselves,” Black said. “It really upset me.”
DeGise was cited for leaving the scene of an accident and failing to report it, according to local media.
