A 76-year-old woman is accused of leaving the scene of a fatal accident in Wildwood.
Marylin Glenn, a Wildwood Crest resident, allegedly struck a 62-year-old woman, identified only as C.C., at the intersection of West Hand and Hudson avenues Dec. 31, according to the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office. Surveillance video showed a yellow Chevrolet Trax striking the victim in a crosswalk “and propelled her through the air.”
A probable cause statement said the vehicle braked, then left the scene.

Glenn contacted law enforcement a short time later, saying she might have been involved in a traffic accident, the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office said.
Police went to Glenn’s home, where a yellow Chevrolet Trax with front-end damage was in the driveway.
Investigators also found physical evidence on the vehicle’s hood and bumper, according to the probable cause statement.
Glenn was arrested at the conclusion of the investigation Jan. 2. She was initially held at Cape May County Jail, then was released on pretrial monitoring.
Charges against her include leaving the scene of a fatal motor vehicle accident. The charges are only allegations, and Glenn has not been convicted in the case.
The accident remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call Wildwood police at 609-522-0222 or the prosecutor’s office at 609-465-1135.
