The search is on for a driver who left the scene of an injury crash just before 11:00 Tuesday night in the Belmont neighborhood. LPD Lt. Jason Goodwin tells KLIN news the two-vehicle crash happened near 11th and Manatt Street.
“The investigation revealed a 2013 Ford Escape was southbound on 11th Street and was struck by a 2003 Honda CR-V traveling westbound on Manatt Street,” Goodwin says. “The vehicles ended up in the lawn of a home and the Escape came to rest on the front porch of the residence.”
Goodwin says the driver of the CR-V got out and ran from the scene before officers arrived. He says that vehicle was reported stolen. The driver of the Escape was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
LPD is asking anyone who witnessed the crash or might have more info about it to contact them at 402-441-6000 or, if you want to remain anonymous, call Lincoln Crime Stoppers at 402-475-3600.
