WWAY alum George Elliott remains hospitalized after surgery postponed

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Former WWAY personality George Elliott remains in the hospital after his surgery scheduled for Monday was postponed.

In May, someone hit Elliott while he was riding his three-wheel cycle on South College Road. The driver, who was in a black pickup truck, left the scene.

Elliott was left with severe injuries and his fourth surgery is now scheduled for Wednesday.

When he gets out of the hospital, he will need home health care for six weeks.

Elliott says not having a consistent job recently and other health issues have drained his funds. He has a GoFundMe page set up to help.

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