The Griffin Police Department is on the lookout for a driver following a hit-and-run incident earlier this month that left a pedestrian seriously injured. The collision, which officials say took place on May 4 in the city, involved a 2013 or 2014 Ford F150. After striking the pedestrian, the driver failed to remain on the scene, prompting an investigation.
The vehicle in question is described as distinctive due to its Tonneau cover and alterations to its usual appearance. As reported by FOX 5 Atlanta, the truck's chrome mirrors have been "either replaced or painted black," and it features an off-center vanity plate that denotes the truck as an 'Ecoboost.' The Griffin Police have appealed for public assistance in tracking down the elusive vehicle.
Authorities are asking anyone with information related to the truck or the incident itself to come forward. This call to action was reiterated by WSB-TV, which specified that the Ford F150 is a Platinum model. The truck's uniqueness, particularly its Tonneau cover and the vanity tag, may be key in identifying the suspect.
In efforts to facilitate a thorough investigation, the Griffin police are providing multiple avenues for contact. Anyone with relevant information is encouraged to call Investigator N. Hoard at (470) 771-3118 or email them at [email protected]. This outreach underscores the department's commitment to resolving the case and ensuring that justice is served.
