Officers responded at approximately 6:15 p.m. Feb. 4 to a traffic collision on Whitendale Avenue, just west of Chinowth Street, according to police. The crash resulted in serious injuries.

Police said the suspect vehicle is described as a newer-model black or blue Ford Mustang. The driver fled the scene immediately after the collision.

Investigators believe the vehicle may have damage to the front driver’s side and possibly along the side of the car.
