Police Searching for Vehicle That Struck State Police Cruiser in Hit-and-Run

From the Quincy Police Department:

On Jan. 31 at about 11:24 p.m., Quincy police officers were dispatched to Piermont Street for a motor vehicle hit and run. Upon arrival, officers advised dispatch that an unoccupied, marked state police cruiser was struck causing severe damage to the rear-passenger side of the cruiser. The suspect vehicle fled down Piermont Street, towards Granger Street, and out onto Harvard Street. The fleeing vehicle is described as a dark colored Chevrolet dump truck. There was no plow attached to the front of the vehicle, but possibly a sander on the back.

The suspect vehicle should have heavy front end-drivers side damage. If you own a business or live in the area, and have a video surveillance system, please take a moment to see if your camera captured anything. Own or work at an auto body shop? Please keep an eye out for a truck arriving with damage consistent with this crash.

Anyone with information that may assist in this investigation is asked to contact State Police Sgt. Mark Cyr at the South Boston Barrack (617-740-7536) or Quincy Police Det Jamie Karvelis (617-745-5765).
