The case background …
On Wednesday, Sept. 4, at 7:24 p.m., Aberdeen police responded to the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and 2nd Street on a report of a pedestrian struck. Upon arrival, officers discovered a 58-year-old female pedestrian in the roadway.
The pedestrian was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center for treatment, where she later succumbed to her injuries and died on Sunday, Sept. 29.
The pedestrian was identified as Judith Fox-Hernandez, of Aberdeen.
An investigation by members of the Monmouth County Serious Collision Analysis Response Team (SCART), the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office – Major Crimes Bureau, and the Aberdeen Police Department determined that Fox-Hernandez was struck by a 2015 Honda Pilot driven by Gomez.
Gomez did not stop at the time of the crash at the scene, nor did she report the collision to law enforcement.
