Saco police asking for help in identifying car that hit pedestrian

The Saco Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance as it investigates an accident that happened last week involving a car and a pedestrian.

A pedestrian was making their way across Free Street using a crosswalk when a car made a right turn from Free Street onto Main Street and struck the pedestrian in the crosswalk around 9:45 a.m. on Wednesday, March 20, said Deputy Police Chief Corey Huntress.

The car involved is believed to be a blue Chevrolet Cruz with a Maine registration, said Huntress. He said the driver of the vehicle was described as a  white female in her mid-40s.

 Saco's parking enforcement officer was near the location of the accident, said Huntress, and took photos of the car leaving the scene after the driver spoke briefly to the pedestrian they struck.

The person hit had minor injuries and was not taken to a hospital, said Huntress.

The Saco Police Department is investigating the accident and is requesting assistance from the public in identifying the operator of the vehicle. Police are asking anyone who witnessed the accident or knows the person driving the car involved to contact Officer Kyle Gregory at 284-4535.
