Elizabeth Police Chief William Sombo tells Channel 11 that the SUV and the driver of it have been located. He didn’t have any information as to potential charges for the driver. Sombo said it’s still an ongoing investigation.
Even though the driver stayed on scene for six minutes, leaving only after the man and his daughter walked away, the crash is considered a hit-and-run because it was never reported.
