Greenfield Resident Cited for Hit-and-Run Involving Student

A 36-year-old Greenfield woman faces municipal citations in connection with a hit-and-run accident involving a student on Wednesday morning.

Port Washington police were able to track down the woman after a witness called the department and was able to identify the company logo from the suspect vehicle, a press release from the department said. "Contact was made with the driver who cooperated with the investigation."

The student was hit while walking across the street around 7:15 a.m. Wednesday. Witnesses were only able to obtain a brief description of the car: as a silver or white car or maybe SUV with some type of a blue and white round sticker on the back. 

"According to witnesses, other vehicles had stopped for the victim to cross when another vehicle passed on the right and struck the victim," the press release from Port Washington police said. There is no crossing guard at the intersection where this incident occurred. 

No further information was available about the status of the student's injuries; initial reports said the car hit the student "in the left leg and running over her foot." 

The woman, who police did not identify, was issued traffic citations for the failure to yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian in an uncontrolled intersection and failure to notify police of an accident. No further charges will be sent to the District Attorney's office in connection to the case, the police department told Patch on Thursday.
