Pedestrian Killed In Monday's Hit & Run On Ewing Drive

A pedestrian has died following Monday's 6:10 p.m. hit and run crash on Ewing Drive at Brick Church Pike. The preliminary investigation indicates Clifford Coleman, 68, was crossing Ewing Drive in the westbound lane of traffic when he was struck by a pickup truck that left the scene.

A witness followed the truck to a home on Vista Lane and reported it to responding officers. The driver of the Dodge Dakota, Beverly Jackson, 66, was located at the home and admitted to striking Coleman.

Coleman was transported to Skyline Medical Center where he died overnight.

Jackson was issued state citations Monday night for leaving the scene of an accident and failure to file a report of an accident; however, those charges will now be upgraded following Coleman's death.
