South Jersey Man Surrenders in Deadly Hit & Run

A South Jersey man has surrendered to authorities in connection with a fatal hit-and-run accident.

Gloucester County prosecutors say 24-year-old Brian Kowasa of Runnemede turned himself in early Monday to Deptford Township police. He posted $10,000 bail after being charged with leaving the scene of a fatal accident.

Authorities say a pickup truck driven by Kowasa struck 52-year-old Richard McClelland of Mantua Township shortly before 8 p.m. Sunday.

He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

An autopsy conducted Monday determined that McClelland died from multiple injuries.
