It’s only been two days of classes at Rutgers and the campus has already been struck with tragedy. 18-year-old, Nicholas Bielik, of Connecticut was struck and killed by a car while crossing Easton Avenue between Hamilton and Mine streets a little past midnight. Police say he was struck by a 1993 Nissan Altima. Bielik, a sophomore, was pronounced dead at 1:52 a.m. at nearby Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, New Brunswick.
The driver was not a Rutgers student. The 21-year old volunteered a blood sample - No charges have been filed, and the accident is still being investigated.
