On December 21st at 2:45 in the afternoon a
red Toyota Prius turned onto Madison eastbound from MacArthur. After traveling
a short distance and changing lanes to get onto the Walnut street exit, the
Toyota struck a motorcycle which was also eastbound. The Toyota continued
eastbound and briefly stopped at the Walnut exit near Douglas Park before
continuing onto the exit. Police are looking to identity the hit and run driver
and hope you can help. The red Prius should have damage near the rear wheel on
the driver’s side and we have a photo of the vehicle will appear later on the Crime Stopper
website. The motorcyclist was hospitalized for injuries in the accident.
