A Vineland woman is charged in a hit-and-run that left a homeless man dead last summer.
Brittany Riddle, 30, was charged Thursday with knowingly leaving the scene of an accident. She was released on a summons.
Vineland police were called to the area of North Delsea Drive near West Wheat at about 12:30 a.m. June 14, for a pedestrian struck by a vehicle on the shoulder of the road.

Byron was known in the area, with many remembering him loving music and playing the guitar.
