A driver has been charged in a hit-and-run crash in Somerset County that caused the death of a 72-year-old pedestrian.
A pickup truck hit the woman as she was crossing a street in Somerville shortly after 6 p.m. on Friday, the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office said in a news release. The truck was traveling on Veteran’s Memorial Drive in Somerville and attempting to turn left onto Somerset Street when the crash occurred. After striking the woman, the vehicle made a U-turn, fled the area and returned later, parking in a nearby parking lot near to the scene, officials said.
