The crash occurred in front of a mixed-use building on busy North Dean Street near Depot Square between 9-9:30 p.m. last Friday, April 8, police Capt. Fred Pulice said.
The 47-year-old victim was unloading groceries from her niece's Honda Accord after coming from the nearby ShopRite when the dark-colored vehicle turned out of the parking lot next door, Pulice said.
That vehicle hit her, pinning her against the niece's car, he said.
The driver then sped off on North Dean.
The victim was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center while city detectives and Bergen County prosecutor’s investigators interviewed witnesses and reconstructed the crash.
The Bergen County Sheriff’s Bureau of Criminal Identification collected evidence.
