An SPD incident report stated that the woman was walking south in the roadway when a vehicle was traveling south in the curb lane. After striking the woman, the vehicle failed to stop and fled the scene, according to the report.
Crews found a woman who was injured, and she was flown to Miami Valley Hospital by a medical helicopter. Miami Valley confirmed that the woman was still listed as a patient as of Monday morning.
Springfield Sgt. Michael Curtis, who leads the division’s traffic division, told the News-Sun that a suspect has not been identified. Police spoke to witnesses who were on the scene, but due to the poor lighting in the area, they were unable to identify the vehicle.
