A 24-year-old Paterson man has been arrested, stemming from a deadly hit and run on Monday in Glen Rock.

David Romero was pulled over Wednesday in a 2007 Honda CR-V, according to Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella.

Police had been searching for vehicles of that make and model, with likely front-end damages, since the Monday morning death of Angelina Sanzari. Authorities previously had identified the victim as Angela Sanzari.
