MOONACHIE -- The family of a Moonachie woman left in critical condition in a hit-and-run crash is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person responsible.

Anna Semioli, 22, was struck just after midnight Friday while walking on Route 46 eastbound in Clifton near Valley Road, Clifton police said.

Her older sister Gina said Anna is in "very, very, critical condition," at St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in Paterson.

"Hopefully someone will come forward and give us more information," Gina, 31, of Lodi, said.

A family friend and a relative raised the $10,000, Gina said.

Semioli, who lives in Moonachie with her family, is a student at Montclair State University studying accounting. She's due to graduate in December.

The Montclair State University Police Department urged anyone with information to contact the Passaic County Prosecutor's Office or Clifton Police.

"Our thoughts are with Anna and her family during this very difficult time," the department said in a statement.

Gina said the family hopes the reward, and media attention, will draw someone with information, or the person who hit Anna, to come forward.

Another friend of the family started a GoFundMe page Sunday to help the Semioli family with medical and other expenses. The page had raised $450 of a $10,000 goal as of Monday morning.

"We have a very, very, long road ahead of us but I know she's going to be OK," Gina said. "I feel it in my heart."

Anyone with information should call the Passaic County Prosecutor's Office at (862) 849-6019.
