Philadelphia man charged in Camden County fatal hit-and-run
The victim died after suffering injuries in the Jan. 3 incident.
A Philadelphia man has been charged in a hit-and-run accident in Runnemede earlier this month that killed a 61-year-old Somerdale resident, officials in Camden County said.
The charges against Gregory Graves, 40, included leaving the scene of a fatal accident and driving with a suspended license, Acting Camden County Prosecutor Jill S. Mayer and Runnemede Police Chief Paul Dailey said late Saturday night.
The victim, Frederick Murray, suffered multiple injuries in the accident, which occurred Jan. 3 at the intersection of South Black Horse Pike and East Clements Bridge Road, officials said.
Murray was taken to an area hospital, where he died of his injuries Jan. 11.
Officers found surveillance footage showing a blue Chevrolet Trailblazer that appeared to be involved in the accident, and an anonymous tip led to their finding a vehicle fitting the description with a damaged front grill.
Graves was taken to the Camden County Correctional Facility where on Sunday he was awaiting a detention hearing.
