Man, 30, charged in hit-and-run death
Police on Friday charged a township man in connection with the hit-and-run death of an 84-year-old township woman, who was struck after leaving the diner where she had been a regular customer.
Timothy J. Napolitano, 30, of Sharon Drive was charged with leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in a fatality and with tampering with evidence, according to the Monmouth County Prosector's Office.
The victim, Helen Adams Gilman, initially survived the crash on Feb. 9, but died eight days later at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune.
Gilman sustained a severe head injury and a broken left leg when she was hit about 8:15 p.m. after leaving the Sunset Diner on Sunset Avenue. The force of the impact carried her up into the car's windshield and back onto the roadway, according to the police investigation.
