Man Charged In Hillsdale Hit-And-Run

A Bergen County man was charged with leaving the scene of an accident and hindering apprehension after he struck and severely injured a 70-year-old Hillsdale woman as she walked on Piermont Avenue, authorities said.

Wesley Evans, 76, of Old Tappan, was charged following an investigation conducted by the Hillsdale Police Department, Bergen County Sheriff’s Office, and the county Prosecutor’s Office Fatal Accident Unit, said Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli.

Evans allegedly struck Feng as she was walking near Pascack Valley High School at about 8 a.m. Monday, authorities said. Feng was found lying on the ground with serious injuries. She was at Hanckensack University Medical Center in stable condition Friday afternoon, Molinelli said.

Police conducted an investigation and found that Feng was struck by a black pickup and a vehicle matching the description was found on Prospect Place, Molinelli said.

Police interviewed Evans, who denied being involved in the incident, police said, and the investigation continued.

Police determined that Evans was the driver involved in the accident, authorities said.

Evans was charged Wednesday. Hillsdale Municipal Court Judge William F. Clark set bail at $25,000 with a 10 percent option. Evans is scheduled to be arraigned in Hillsdale Municipal Court Wednesday at 4 p.m.
