WPD search for driver accused of hitting woman on Wooster Street
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Wilmington Police are searching for a suspect who hit a pedestrian with a car on Wooster Street, then drove away. It happened about two weeks ago.
On April 24, a 46 year old Wilmington woman was crossing the intersection of Wooster and 17th Streets, despite on-coming traffic having a green light. A dark sedan traveling in the far right lane struck the woman just before 2 p.m. Once the woman stood up and walked to the sidewalk, the car continued driving west on Wooster St.
The victim then walked into the Family Dollar, made a purchase, walked across Wooster Street toward her home. Once she got home, she called 911. EMS transported her to New Hanover Regional Medical Center with complaints of pain.
Police are also trying to identify a witness, who pulled into the Family Dollar in a black SUV Toyota Land Cruiser moments after the incident occurred.
Anyone with information is asked to contact WPD at 910-343-3600 or use Text A Tip.
