By

A Jersey City woman crossing Monticello Avenue Wednesday evening was struck by a vehicle that then fled, authorities say.

The 54-year-old victim was taken to the Jersey City Medical Center to be treated for injuries sustained in the 6:25 p.m. crash near the intersection with Communipaw Avenue, the Jersey City police crash report said. The victim reported pain in both her shoulders.

The woman told police she was crossing Monticello Avenue when a driver turned from Communipaw Avenue, struck her and fled, the crash report said.

Earlier in the day, a 13-year-old boy was struck by a vehicle in the area of Bergen and Kensington avenues.

The boy was taken to a local hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening after the 12:50 crash, Jersey City spokeswoman Kimberly Wallace-Scalcione said. The driver remained on scene.
