A 2001 Chevy Impala was traveling southbound on Route 13, and was coming upon the intersection. A pedestrian was illegally crossing the traffic lanes. The driver,  74 year old Warner Ross, had the green light when he began to cross the intersection, attempted to veer and brake to avoid the pedestrian. Unable to avoid the pedestrian, Ross struck the 38 year old female, knocking her down to the ground. At that point an unknown vehicle, described as a black jeep with New York registration, following behind Ross, struck and ran over the pedestrian. The vehicle failed to stop and continued traveling southbound Route 13.
