Sound Beach Man Charged in Hit-and-Run That Killed Miller Place Woman

A Sound Beach man was arrested on Tuesday and charged with leaving the scene of an accident that killed a Miller Place woman last year, police said.

Christopher Campbell, 35, is charged with leaving the scene of an incident without reporting involving a fatality–a felony.

Campbell was arrested following an investigation by Vehicular Crime Unit detectives into the Oct. 18 crash, police said.

According to police, 40-year-old Tracy Mangino was walking east on North Country Road, east of Block Island Drive, when she struck by a commercial, box-type truck that was also traveling east. Police say Campbell was driving truck and fled the scene.

Campbell will be arraigned Tuesday at First District Court in Central Islip.
