Boston Police Hunt For Seaport Hit-And-Run Suspect

BOSTON — Police are looking for a man who authorities said drove a stolen white Amtrak pickup truck into pedestrians then ran off in Boston's Seaport neighborhood Friday morning. At least one person, a woman, was injured in the crash. Amtrak officials said the truck was stolen from a worksite earlier in the day.

"After leaving the worksite, the suspect struck a utility pole, a parked vehicle and also struck and injured a person," leaving her with injuries that were not considered life-threatening, an Amtrak spokesperson said in an email to Patch.

Amtrak said it was working with the Boston Police Department.

"Preliminary information indicates only one pedestrian was struck," said Officer Stephen McNulty, a Boston police spokesperson, in an interview with Patch.

According to police, around 11:47 a.m., someone called to report a pedestrian hit by a truck. Witnesses told reporters the white pickup truck came out of nowhere and hit a woman and cars nearby. The driver then jumped out of the vehicle and ran off on foot, the witnesses said.

Multiple police officers were at the scene and police said they were still investigating just what happened.
