Police Investigate NJ Hit-and-Run

Law enforcement officials are investigating a serious motor vehicle accident in which a pedestrian was struck before the vehicle fled the scene.

The Bergen County prosecutor's office says the accident happened around 5 p.m. Monday at an intersection in Fort Lee at Anderson Avenue and Inwood Terrace.

Witnesses tell WCBS-TV in New York City (http://cbsloc.al/z6H1gH) that it was a horrifying scene in which the driver struck a woman, backed up, and ran over her repeatedly before fleeing the scene.

A spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office says they aren't releasing more details at the moment.
