A California couple was left high and dry 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, Calif., was driving south on State Highway 42 with her 69-year-old male passenger. When they attempted to turn left onto County Highway I, a driver of a black jeep failed to yield to the right of way and tried to turn left from County Highway I to head south onto State Highway 42. As a result, the two vehicles crashed in the middle of the roadway. According to the accident report, when the California couple moved their vehicle out of the roadway, the jeep driver sped away without exchanging information. The California woman did suffer a possible injury, but she did not have to be transported to an area hospital.
