Police Seek Tips In Hit-And-Run That Injured Couple: Patch PM

NATICK, MA — It's a wet Thursday afternoon across eastern Massachusetts, but the worst of the weather is behind us. But if by chance you're headed to Connecticut today, the National Weather Service has issued a tornado watch for the Hartford area, plus the entire coastline and southern Rhode Island.

Here's what we're keeping an eye on this afternoon in the MetroWest and Worcester areas:

Police have still not made any arrests in connection to a violent Aug. 18 hit-and-run in the downtown Natick area. But local police and the Middlesex District Attorney's Office put out a statement Thursday asking for tips from local drivers — especially people who were in Sherborn or Holliston and may have seen the suspect vehicle.

A number of local businesses, including Bill's Pizzeria and Kells Beer Co., are also raising money to support the couple injured in the hit-and-run, Kimberly Gunner, 51, and Andy Colbert, 39.
