Middletown Police are asking for help from anyone who would have been in the area of Route 36 and Naval Weapons Station Earle in Leonardo Friday, October 18, prior to 8:07 p.m. and may have seen the victim prior to a crash that took the life of a pedestrian.
Anyone with information can call Middletown Twp. Police Cpl. Michael Reuter at (732) 615-2045 or Det. Nicolas Logothetis, of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office at (800) 533-7443.
Police reported that on Friday, at 8:07p.m., Middletown Twp. Police responded to State Route 36 for a report of a pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle. Upon arrival, officers located Dennis Bannon, 60, of Leonardo, lying on the roadway with serious bodily injuries.
The accident occurred on the highway in the northbound lanes a short distance past the Main Gate entrance to NWS Earle.
The initial investigation shows that Bannon was walking on the roadway prior to being struck by the vehicle.
The driver, whose identity is not being released at this time, was cooperative with Police during the investigation.
Bannon was treated and transported by Port Monmouth First Aid Squad to Hackensack Meridian Health Riverview Medical Center in Red Bank where he was pronounced dead.
You should change the headline. As you reported it was not a hot and run if the driver was there.
