Authorities in York County are actively searching for a truck driver involved in a hit-and-run incident that critically injured a pedestrian, as reported by ABC27. The collision occurred on Sunday night at the Manheim Adventure Park, with officers from the Northern York County Regional Police arriving just after 8 p.m. to find the victim suffering from a head injury after apparently trying to halt two pickup trucks that were performing "donuts" in the facility's parking lot.
The hit-and-run took place near the park entrance on Camp Woods Road, the injured man, a local resident, had dashed into the lot in an attempt to curtail the trucks' reckless maneuvers but one of the trucks struck him thereafter while fleeing the scene; police have yet to determine which of the two vehicles was involved, while the victim was holding a flashlight when struck, which he claimed to have hit the truck with it, suggesting there might be damage on the vehicle's driver side, WGAL reports.
In the moments following the collision, the individual was initially found unconscious but regained consciousness speaking to officers upon the arrival of emergency services, after which he was rushed to WellSpan York Hospital for treatment, according to details provided by Local 21 News.
The Northern York County Regional Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to come forward and have provided the contact number 717-467-TELL for the public to share tips, the department is focused on identifying the hit-and-run driver, and finding the trucks involved in the dangerous activity, one grey and another black, last seen at Manheim Adventure Park's vicinity, as the search for the offender continues the community remains shaken by the reckless disregard for human life exhibited on that Sunday night.
