Can you help? Description of car sought in fatal hit-and-run released

Palmer Township police late Friday afternoon released the description of a car possibly involved in Wednesday night's hit-and-run crash that left a 18-year-old woman dead.

The car is described as a dark-colored or black 2006 to 2016 Chevrolet Impala sedan, with damage to its passenger-side front undercarriage or wheel-well area, police Detective Sgt. Timothy Ruoff said in a news release.

It was last seen headed north on Nazareth Road (Route 248) from Park Avenue near the Palmer Park Mall.

That's where Zakaiveh Halley, of Phillipsburg, was struck and killed shortly after 9 p.m. after an argument with a friend at the mall that led to them being escorted out just prior to closing, police said.

The vehicle description and direction are based on information from witnesses and evidence collected at the scene, Ruoff said.

Police early Thursday impounded another sedan, this one a black Mazda6, from Morris Street in Phillipsburg. Investigators processed that car for evidence but were unable as of Friday to link it to Wednesday night's crash.
