Another surgery for WWAY alum George Elliott after hit-and-run

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Former WWAY personality George Elliott is back in the hospital because complications from his injuries will require another surgery.

On May 11, Elliott, 59, was riding his three-wheel cycle on South College Road when a driver hit him in front of the CVS.

The driver, who was in either a black SUV or pickup truck, left the scene.

Friday, Elliott told WWAY he will have another surgery on Monday.

Elliott hosted “Explore with George” on WWAY from 2011 through 2014.

Wilmington Police are offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information about the hit-and-run.

His family has set up a GoFundMe to help with medical expenses.
