Hit-and-run horror in Landa Park: the quiet of New Braunfels morning was shattered when an 84-year-old man fell victim to a hit-and-run incident. The Comal County authorities are now on the hunt for a pickup truck driver, suspected of striking down the elderly pedestrian early Monday.

According to a FOX San Antonio report, paramedics rushed to the scene on the intersection of Landa Park Drive and Playground Drive at about 6:30 a.m. There, they found the aged man battered and bruised, with injuries significant enough to suggest an encounter with a vehicle, likely a pickup truck. The details on the truck or its driver are frustratingly scarce, with the authorities not yet able to provide a description or confirm if the vehicle remained at the scene post-collision.

Meanwhile, the victim is receiving medical attention, the specifics of his condition not made public. The search for the driver continues, with New Braunfels officials urging anyone with information to contribute, in hopes of swift justice.
