Woman Killed In Hit-And-Run In Fort Lee: Prosecutor

FORT LEE, NJ — A 61-year-old woman was killed in a hit-and-run crash on Main Street Wednesday afternoon, said acting Bergen County Prosecutor Dennis Calo.

A preliminary investigation revealed that the woman was hit by a box truck heading west and then by a Mercedes-Benz SUV heading east, Calo said. The box truck remained at the scene, but the Mercedes-Benz did not, he said.
