At approximately 7:08 p.m. on Thursday, March 4, 2021, the Hackensack Police Department received a report of a pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle on Polifly Road between Sutton and Marvin Avenues. Upon arrival, officers observed the victim lying in the roadway with fatal injuries. The victim, an 81-year-old female, was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Surveillance video recovered from the area, along with evidence recovered at the scene, indicates that the victim was struck by a 2013 to 2014 black BMW X5. Earlier reports indicated that the vehicle was a 2014 to 2018 black BMW X5. The striking vehicle then fled the scene southbound on Polifly Road. The suspect vehicle will most likely display signs of moderate damage to the front driver’s side, including damage to the hood and left fender, and fractured/missing plastic from the front grille, bumper trim, and headlight.

I have not seen any update on this accident in Hackensack. I’m upset that with all the cameras on the adjoining streets that there is no shot of the license plate. There was an accident on the same exact road in 2020. It was also a hit and run they caught that person in a matter of days from the cameras only no witnesses. Do you know if police or investigators are still on this case? Are they reviewing all the camera footage? This case is very important to a lot of people. The victim was my friend for 25 years. We buried her this past Monday. I just find it hard to believe that it’s been 15 days and no footage of the license plate? I saw the update video of the car that hit her coming up the street past the gas station than making a left turn. I hope they are checking ALL camera footage.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE DRIVER EITHER GOT ON 80 west or 46 WEST. PLEASE POLICE CHECK ALL GAS STATIONS ON HIGHWAYS. DRIVER HAD TO STOP AN ASSES DAMAGE. LETS GET THIS ANIMAL
At this point let’s just call paw patrol to solve this because Hackensack police is not it.
