A 27-year-old female was injured shortly after 11:30 p.m. (June 1, 2017) at the 1200 block of Taylor Street.
Witnesses tell CPD that a car was speeding in the westbound lane and hit the victim, causing her to fall to the ground. The driver is accused of not stopping or rendering aid to the injured victim.
