California couple victims of hit-and-run accident

A California couple was left stranded last Thursday after being involved in a hit-and-run accident in the town of Egg Harbor. The accident occurred before 2:40 p.m. when a 67-year-old woman from Lora Lompoc, California, was traveling south on State Highway 42 with her 69-year-old male passenger. As they attempted to turn left onto County Highway I, the driver of a black Jeep disregarded the right of way and attempted to turn left from County Highway I to head south onto State Highway 42. As a result, the two vehicles collided in the middle of the roadway. According to the accident report, the Jeep driver sped away when the California couple moved their vehicle off the roadway without exchanging information. The California woman sustained possible injuries but did not require transport to a local hospital.
