Six Year Old Injured in Hit and Run in Pontiac, Detectives Seek to Identify Driver of Black Hummer
Pontiac, MI – Oakland County Sheriff’s Detectives are asking for the public’s help identifying the driver of a black Hummer who hit a 6-year-old Pontiac girl as she was crossing the street with her mother and then sped away.
The incident occurred on Virginia Avenue near Baldwin Avenue in Pontiac shortly after 4 p.m. on Wednesday. “We are looking for the public’s assistance in locating the callous individual that struck a 6-year- old with a motor vehicle and fled without even pausing to check on her well-being,” Sheriff Michael Bouchard said.
The girl and her mother were crossing street when the mother witnessed the Hummer traveling west on Virginia towards Baldwin. The mother, who was holding another child, stopped but was unable to stop the 6-year-old before she was hit. The driver of the Hummer then fled south on Baldwin. The black Hummer had “Natural Construction” written on the side. The girl was taken to the hospital where she was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Anyone with information on the incident, the vehicle or the driver is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at 248-858-4950 or text to 9-1-1.
