GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Green Bay police are looking for the driver of a vehicle that hit and injured a 14-year-old pedestrian and drove away.
The incident happened Wednesday around 2 p.m. at the intersection of Main Street and N. Baird Street on the city’s east side.
Witnesses reported to police that a newer black Ford or Chevrolet pickup with a large Mexican flag in the bed of the truck was going southbound on N. Baird Street when it struck the teenager while turning west onto Main Street, and never stopped, causing non-life-threatening injuries.
“We understand that this is a vague vehicle description and with Mexican Independence Day being celebrated on Saturday, September 16, 2023, there may be an abundance of trucks with flags that match the suspect vehicle. However, the specific truck that we are looking for may have front-end damage near the bumper, so please take that into consideration as we ask for the public’s assistance in this case,” said Captain Clint Beguhn, Green Bay Police Department.
The teen was taken to the hospital.
