Sicklerville Man Hospitalized Pedestrian In Hit-And-Run: Police

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, NJ — A Sicklerville man is wanted for a hit-and-run that hospitalized a pedestrian last year, according to Washington Township police.

The incident, which happened in May, seriously injured the victim, officials said. Police said Tuesday they're now looking for Devin A. Hogarth after identifying him as the driver.

A Hyundai Sonata struck the victim early in the morning May 22 on Hurfville-Cross Keys Road, near Chestnut Ridge Middle School, police said. The driver, then unidentified, fled the scene, according to officials.

The injured victim was taken to Cooper University Hospital in Camden.

Recently, a Washington Township police officer found the suspected Hyundai parked while on patrol. It had a primer-painted hood and a new front bumper, indicating possible efforts to conceal damage, police said.

The vehicle was towed to police impound for further investigation.

As a result, Hogarth was charged with knowingly leaving the scene of an accident resulting in serious injury, evidence tampering, and hindering apprehension.

Anyone with knowledge of his location can contact Washington Township Police Det. Matt Barnett at 856-589-0330 ext. 1180.
