$10K reward offered after hit-and-run puts Montclair student in coma

A $10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of a suspect in a hit-and-run incident that has left a Montclair State University student in a coma.

Anna Semioli, 22, of Moonachie was crossing the eastbound side of Route 46 in Clifton near Valley Road late on Thursday night when she was struck by a vehicle that left the scene, according to a text alert sent to Montclair students.  Based upon the injuries to her upper body, the vehicle involved is believed to be an SUV or truck according to NorthJersey.com.

"Our thoughts are with Anna and her family during this very difficult time,"   wrote the University in an email. "The Montclair State University Police Department is fully cooperating with the investigation and is urging anyone with information to come forward and speak to the Passaic County Prosecutor’s office or the Clifton Police Department as soon as possible."

With the help of Eastern Outdoor Furnishings in Totowa, a $10,000 reward is being offered to find the driver.

Whoever did this to Annie will be caught. You know what happened. You need to tell the truth. It is a disgrace that you have waited this long. We are done waiting. We are coming for you. We will have justice for Annie!!!" Anna's sister, Gianna Martino, wrote on her Facebook page. "If anybody sees any suspicious cars or SUV’s with damage on the right passenger side please report it. If you know anything or saw Annie that night please come through now!!! Time is crucial right now."

Semioli is hospitalized at St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center in Paterson with serious injuries.

"The family is devastated," Martino told New Jersey 101.5 in an email. "They are doing the best they can to stay strong for her. There is no update yet."

The Passaic County Prosecutor’s office and Clifton police are investigating the incident. Authorities are asking anyone with information to call the Prosecutor's Office at 862-849-6019.
