CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is investigating a hit-and-run crash investigators say sent a man to the hospital late Monday night.
Officers said they responded to Statesville Avenue north of Atando Avenue around 11:30 p.m. They found the man injured and unresponsive. He was taken to a hospital to be treated for life-threatening injuries.
CMPD said it appears he was crossing Statesville Avenue when he was hit by a gold or tan Ford F-150 pickup truck. The suspect's truck, which was captured on traffic cameras nearby, is an extended-cab model and was seen turning onto Statesville Avenue from Cindy Lane. It was then last seen turning onto LaSalle Street heading toward I-77.
Police shared a photo of the truck, and noted it would likely have damage to the front end and grille. The F-150 will also be missing the Ford badge.
Anyone with information is urged to call Charlotte CrimeStoppers at 704-334-1600 or leave a tip online.
