Driver #1: Daryl Caloway 46 of the 100 block of W. Cherry Street

Driver #2: Lashan Gillam 27 of the 400 block of W. Walnut Road

On 3/19/15 at approximately 2156hrs, I was dispatched to 330 E Walnut Road for a hit and run crash. Upon my arrival, I met with Lashan Gillam, Driver #2 who was being medically evaluated by Vineland EMS. Gillam told me she was driving her vehicle (NJ-X30DLX) northbound on S Delsea Drive towards Elmer Road. The traffic in front of her was stopped so she began slowing her vehicle. She looked in her rearview mirror and saw a black Acura SUV behind her that was not slowing down. Gillam said her vehicle was rear ended by the Black SUV. She and the SUV turned east onto Elmer Road and pulled over to the side of the road.

The SUV pulled in front of her vehicle. Gillam said she saw the driver, a black male with a beard, exit his vehicle and walk to the front of his vehicle to look at the damage. Gillam tried to open her door to speak with the male, but it would not open. The male then got back into his vehicle and drove away. Gillam followed the vehicle for several blocks but lost sight of it and pulled into the driveway of 330 E Walnut Road and called police. Gillam gave me the license plate number from the SUV (NJ-SKZ79D). I ran the plate through NCIC and it returned to a Black Acura MDX SUV registered to Patricia Pulley of 103 W Cherry Street, Vineland.

Gillam's vehicle (Vehicle #2) had severe damage to the rear bumper and trunklid. Gillam claimed no injuries at this time and signed a waiver from EMS.

I then responded to 103 W Cherry Street to attempt to locate the SUV and driver. I made contact with Patricia Pulley who told me she owns the SUV and her husband, Daryl Calloway is driving it. Patricia confirmed that her husband has a beard. I asked Patricia to call Calloway and have him respond to my location but she was unable to get him to answer after several attempts. Patricia told me Calloway was driving to an unknown store and had already received a text message from him at 2214hrs stating "on the way". Patricia told me she would notify police as soon as he gets home.


A bolo was sent out to officers with a description of the vehicle, but at the time of this report, I have been unable to locate Calloway or the SUV.

No witnesses were located at the scene.

He stated vehicle sustained extensive front end damage, that would be noticeable. He indicated driver #1 was a Hispanic male with a "clean cut" hair style. With the amount of vehicle debris on the roadway, vehicle #1 should have moderate damage to the front bumper and headlight assembly. The pieces of debris were collected and secured as evidence.

Driver #1: Evelio Tobar-Peraza 39 of the 600 block of Joyce Lane

Driver of the parked vehicle that was struck stated at the scene, she parked her vehicle on Montrose Street just east of Sabater School on the south side of the roadway facing east. She advised she walked into the school, retrieved her children and returned to her vehicle where she was advised by an unknown crossing guard that her vehicle was struck by a Green Cab. She continued to say that she went home and then responded to Green Cab to advise them of the situation. That is when Joseph Feliciano contacted this department regarding the incident.

Furthermore, I asked Joseph how many cabs were running and he said 7 cabs were currently running. I asked Joseph to broadcast over there radio for all drivers that were clear to respond to their headquarters so I could look at each vehicle.

While at Green Cab, I observed minor damage to the front driver side quarter panel and driver side headlight. It appeared as if a side view mirror from the accused vehicle struck the quarter panel and due to the driver continuing to drive cut and ripped paint off all the way to the headlight. Vehicle# 2 had green paint transfer as well where the damage was located.

At that time, vehicle# 1 arrived to Green Cab and I looked at the passenger side view mirror. The mirror had white paint transfer which was consistent with vehicle# 2. The damage looked fresh and I observed thick pieces of white paint which was consistent with vehicle# 2's paint still stuck to the passenger door. The paint stayed on the passenger door due to it snowing and the door being wet. I showed driver# 1 what I had located and he said he did not know what happened. I asked him if he was in the area of 7th Street and Montrose Street around 2:15 PM and he said he was. A check with Green Cab dispatch revealed driver# 1 was in fact sent to the area of 7th Street and Montrose Street around the time of the collision. With all of this information gathered, it was evident that driver# 1 was at fault for the collision; however he refused to acknowledge he knew he struck the vehicle.

No injuries were reported as a result of the collision. Minor damage was sustained to vehicle # 1's passenger side view mirror. Vehicle# 2's vehicle sustained apparent minor damage to the front driver side quarter panel and driver side headlight lens cover. Driver # 1 was issued the following summonses.

1) 0614-VC004470, Leaving the scene of a collision with damage

2) 0614-VC004471, Failure to report a collision with damage

3) 0614-VC004472, careless driving
