New York Driver Accused Of Sideswiping A Police Vehicle And Taking Off! Do You Recognize This Truck?
We have all heard of the term "hit and run" but what does it actually mean? According to the Cambridge Dictionary, hit and run is "a road accident in which the driver who caused the accident drives away without helping the other people involved and without telling the police". In this case it was the police that were hit!
New York State Police are searching for the individual suspected of a hit and run accident in central New York earlier this week. We have pictures of the alleged vehicle involved in the incident. Take a look to see if you recognize anything.
