Posted on May 20, 2009 by Shennen | No Comments

Thanks to James Mercante at the Richmond Police Department of Public Affairs for the following information:

The Richmond Police Department needs the public’s help in locating the driver who hit a child and left the scene in the 5800 block of Thorndale Lane yesterday.

At approximately 5:50 p.m. a black Jeep Cherokee struck an 11-year-old child who had entered the roadway after visiting an ice cream truck. The side-view mirror of the Jeep struck the child in the head causing non-life threatening injuries.

The Department would like anyone with information about the vehicle or the driver to call Crime Stoppers at 780-1000.

The Department would also like to remind drivers to be extra cautious this time of year when operating vehicles near playgrounds, ice cream trucks or other areas where children are present.
