Hit-and-Run Injures Teen Bicyclist, Driver Sought

Police officers are investigating a hit-and-run involving a teenage bicyclist and an unknown white van earlier this month. They’re asking any witnesses to the wreck to contact investigators.

Officers responded at 7:30 a.m. Oct. 6 to the Germantown Emergency Center regarding a bicyclist who was struck near on Great Seneca Highway at Wisteria Driver in Germantown.

The driver of the van initially slowed after striking the teen, and then fled from the area. The victim was treated for non-life-threatening injuries at an area hospital.

The bicyclist has described the driver of the van as a black female in her 50’s and wearing glasses.
