NJDOT Commissioner: Remain Alert in Light of Recent Death of Highway Safety Worker

Newsbrief - State

Written by NJ DOT Sunday, 17 January 2010 13:04

Trenton, NJ – New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) Commissioner Stephen Dilts today respectfully took the tragic passing of a member of NJDOT as an opportunity to urge all motorists to remain alert and to move over when they see emergency vehicles stopped on the shoulder while driving on New Jersey’s highways. The entire Department today mourns the tragic passing of our friend and co-worker, Joe Kealey, as he is laid to rest.

Joe was an Emergency Service Patrol (ESP) Driver who was killed this past Monday on I-76 eastbound in Bellmawr, Camden County while assisting a disabled motorist. Joe was only 45 years of age and he leaves behind a wife and two daughters. He will be deeply missed by the Department.

Joe was one of the Department’s “Good Samaritans,” roaming our state highways to help those in need on a daily basis. During his short time with the Department, Joe assisted close to 3,000 customers and compiled more than 825 commendations from the motorists he served. Some of the accolades he received described him as a Hero, a Guardian Angel, an Ambassador and a Life Saver - a fitting tribute for someone who endeared himself to those he helped.
