No vehicle was located at the scene, and the driver did not call for help. The pedestrian suffered serious injuries as a result of the crash.
Members of NPPD’s Traffic Homicide Investigations Unit responded.
Through lengthy investigative means, it was discovered that the vehicle of 34-year-old Veronica Fidanza struck the victim and did not stop. She is now facing hit-and-run charges involving serious injury.
“Our Traffic Homicide Investigators take over investigations of fatal and near fatal vehicle crashes. They work hard on these cases and go to great lengths to secure justice for victims, much like the one in this case. If you’re involved in a crash, stay on scene, render aid and call for help. There is no need to make a bad situation worse,” says Traffic Sergeant Scott Guzman.
