Jennifer Rogoff, of Sparta, says her daughter, Charlotte, was struck by a car while driving on Route 15 South in Jefferson near the DOT Picatinny truck entrance around 6:30 p.m.

The vehicle sped off without stopping after the crash, which Rogoff says caused a traffic light to puncture the roof of Charlotte’s car.

“Thankfully she is very sore but okay,” she writes.

Rogoff is looking for anyone who might have witnessed or collected dash cam footage of the crash.

“At that time of day, someone had to see what happened,” she writes.

Rogoff is also searching for two good samaritans who stopped and gave her daughter a jacket while they waited for police together.

“Definitely someone up there looking out for her as a traffic light punctured the roof of the car,” Rogoff writes.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Rockaway Borough Police Department at (973) 627-1851.
