Investigators on Monday obtained an arrest warrant charging Monica D. Ippolito, 49, with leaving the scene of a crash resulting in death, thanks to tips generated by publicly-released surveillance video.

Darlene Westbrook was struck by a gold Chrysler Voyager minivan around 8:15 p.m. Feb. 18 on 43rd Street near Tonnelle Avenue, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said.

Westbrook had just gotten off a bus when she got knocked onto the roof of the mini-van, authorities said, adding that she held on for several blocks before falling off.

Video captured images that include the minivan heading north on Kennedy Boulevard from 35th Street, they said.
