MOONACHIE, New Jersey -- Twin brothers from New Jersey are facing charges in connection with a deadly hit and run last month.

29-year-old Brian Rossi was struck and killed while walking on Route 46 in Moonachie on Jan. 5.

Investigators say 32-year-old Brandon Bialek of Lodi was driving the car that hit Rossi and fled the scene.

He is charged with leaving the scene of a fatal motor vehicle collision and hindering apprehension.
