Here are a few tips to help you prepare to defend both yourself and your property if confronted by a violent attacker: Stay in Your Car: The most important thing is to avoid getting out of your vehicle unless absolutely necessary.

GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (MARCH 27, 2025)(CNBNews)-Notice the way the worker in the photo is standing. He is leaning on his shovel with one foot pointing downward, and he has his one leg crossed over the other leg. He reminds me of the stork I saw in Florida one year. You don't learn that stance overnight. And, just by the way he's standing, you know he has been paving streets for many years. As I watched this crew I almost passed out from the strong smell of asphalt. I don't know how these workers do that job every day. They deserve every dollar they make and then some. When I got home, I tried to stand just like him in my backyard. No one was home. No matter how many times I tried, I kept falling over.

CNBNews photo credit Emma Herrmann Emma Herrmann CNBNews Contributor GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (JANUARY 31, 2025) (CNBNEWS) - A chaotic traffic accident erupted near U.S. Route 130 and Klemm Avenue at around 5:20 PM, Friday, January 31, right in the thick of rush hour. The once-bustling southbound lane and the northbound lane of U.S. Route 130 transformed into a sea of brake lights as vehicles were stranded for miles in both directions. Adding to the frustrating gridlock was the heavy rain and the many "Lookey Lous." It is not known if the weather caused the accident.

While the scene was both alarming and dramatic, details about potential injuries remain unclear. As authorities investigate, the exact cause of this distressing incident is still a mystery.
