Savannah-Chatham police are searching for an SUV that struck a 51-year-old woman on West Gwinnett Street Dec. 20.
Investigators with the department’s Major Accident Investigation Team have determined a 1995 or 1996 Ford Explorer or Mercury Mountaineer hit the woman as she was walking westbound on the side of Gwinnett about 10:10 p.m. near the U.S. 17 overpass, said Julian Miller, police spokesman.
The vehicle momentarily stopped after hitting the woman before speeding away, Miller said. It likely has damage to its right, front corner.
The woman was taken to a local hospital and has since been released.
Anyone with information on the vehicle, its location or its driver or owner is asked to call Crimestoppers at 912-234-2020 or text CRIMES (274637). Tipsters remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward.
