SOUTH BRUNSWICK — A 19-year-old woman and her father have been indicted in an April hit-and-run at the high school that left a 14-year-old girl with a broken clavicle and a severe concussion, according to the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office.

Shivangi Patel has been formally charged with leaving the scene of an accident with serious bodily injury and endangering an injured victim — both 3rd-degree crimes — and assault by auto, a 4th-degree crime, according to the indictment handed up by a grand jury on Aug. 21. Rajesh Patel, her father, has been accused of hindering the apprehension of his daughter, a 4th-degree crime.

Shivangi Patel, a Rutgers student, allegedly struck the teenager in the crosswalk in front of the school the morning of April 13, police have said. The 14-year-old girl’s head hit the windshield, authorities said at the time. After hitting the girl, she allegedly drove home, where she left the car and her father drove her back to the high school, where she was observing classes, police had added.

The police have also said that Rajesh Patel tried to hide his daughter’s car in the family driveway following the accident.

In response to the hit-and-run, the school district has made changes to the traffic pattern around the school to make the area safer for pedestrians this September, school officials say.

An extra through-lane, a new safe zone crosswalk for students getting dropped off, and speed humps along the route will slow traffic and make sure that pedestrians and drivers move through the area safely, said Peter Varela, the school’s interim principal.

“This pattern has everyone focused on safety,” said Varela. “We said we have to make a change.”

Varela said the changes will improve pedestrian safety, and were made with the accident in mind.

“That’s one of the reasons we’re looking to slow drivers down,” he said.
