Oakland County Hit-And-Run Crash Leaves Man Critically Injured: Sheriff

PONTIAC, MI — A man was seriously injured in a hit-and-run crash that happened Sunday night in Oakland County, according to the sheriff's office.

The crash happened at 10:30 p.m. at the intersection of Perry and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Pontiac, officials said.

Investigators believe the man was crossing Perry Street when he was hit by a white work truck that never stopped. They do not know if he was crossing in the designated crosswalk area when he was hit.

He was taken to a nearby hopsital and listed in critical condition, officials said.

Officials have not identified the man, but described him as Hispanic and in his late teens or early 20s.

Officials said the crash is the seventh hit-and-run in Pontiac so far this year. Officials are still investigating two other hit-and-run crashes that happened within blocks of each other and both involved a Jeep.

"It’s hard to imagine the lack of humanity that lets people hit a person with a car and drive off," Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. "We are seeking the public’s help to hold these people responsible. Someone knows valuable information and just needs to do the right thing and share it with our detectives."
