BURLEIGH – A pedestrian was struck and killed in a crosswalk shortly after sunset June 20. 
The pedestrian, identified as Richard Geere, 59, of Burleigh, was pronounced dead at the scene at the corner of Route 9 and State Highway 147 (North Wildwood Boulevard).
The driver, Glenn Dunleavy, of Del Haven, was headed west around 9:20 p.m. Police said he was speeding when he struck Geere. He continued driving, crashing soon after on Indian Trail Road.
After he crashed his vehicle, Dunleavy fled on foot. He was soon caught and charged with leaving the scene of a fatal accident, a second-degree crime, per the Middle Township Police Department. Additional charges may be pending, police said.
Dunleavy is currently being held at the Cape May County Correctional Facility.
Any charges are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless they are proven guilty.
