On September 21, 2015 Philip Masi was driving on Hunter Street, in Newark, New Jersey. There was a stop sign located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Hunter Street and Sherman Avenue which was obscured by a tree that was planted adjacent to 36 Hunter Street. Mr. Masi, who was unfamiliar with the neighborhood, did not know the intersection of Hunter Street and Sherman Avenue was controlled by a stop sign. He therefore entered the intersection without stopping and was struck by a car driven by Sophiaq Scotchsman who was proceeding south
