Temilayo Okeowo, 44, fled the scene after she hit a New York City man crossing 66th Street at the intersection of Boulevard East on Sunday, Dec. 1, 2019, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said in a release.
The man was transported to Jersey City Medical Center via EMS and is still recovering from his injuries, Suarez said.
A six-month investigation linked Okeowo to the incident, authorities said. She turned herself in to police with her attorney Friday morning and was charged with third-degree knowingly leaving the scene of an accident resulting in serious bodily injury.
