Woman In Coma After Hit-And-Run; Fairfax Co. Police Search For Driver

WEST SPRINGFIELD, VA — A woman who was seriously injured by a hit-and-run driver in West Springfield on Dec. 27 remains hospitalized, according to a report.

Mary Wong, 63, was walking after getting off a bus on her way home from work when she was hit by what witnesses said was a Chevy Tahoe at the intersection of Huntsman Blvd and Bridle Wood Drive, near Old Keene Mill Road.

At the hospital, Wong, a mother of two, remains in a coma after getting struck by the hit-and-run driver, WJLA reported.

Wong’s family is hoping the driver comes forward. “[The driver is] probably living his normal life while we are just suffering, and we’re going through so much right now,” a family friend told WJLA.

Witnesses told police that the vehicle was a white Chevy Tahoe with front end damage. They said the driver did not stop or even slow down before and after hitting Wong.
