MILL HALL -- State Police at Lamar are still seeking the public's help in identifying a vehicle that struck a horse and buggy along Eagle Valley Road over the weekend.
The crash occurred at 8:17 p.m. on May 5 in the area of MacIntyre Lane, Bald Eagle Township, according to police.
District Attorney Dave Strouse shared the following information regarding the incident over the weekend:
On May 5, 2023 at approximately (8:17 p.m.), a hit and run crash occurred on Eagle Valley Road in the area of Macintyre Lane, Bald Eagle Township, Clinton County, PA.
The investigation determined that the striking vehicle was traveling westbound and passed two vehicles in a very short passing zone on Eagle Valley Road, just after Laurel Run Road. The vehicle then maneuvered back into the right lane of travel and subsequently struck a horse and buggy that was also traveling west on Eagle Valley Road, badly disabling the buggy, and forcing it off the right side of the roadway into an embankment. There were two adults and two young children in the buggy at the time of this incident.
The striking vehicle immediately fled the scene traveling west on Eagle Valley Road, making no attempts to stop and render aid or provide information.
The striking vehicle is described as a maroon/burgundy in color Chevrolet Silverado (possibly a 2014-2019) 4 door quad-cab, chrome grill and front bumper, dark in color wheels and larger than stock tires, possibly lifted, and a toolbox in the front portion of the bed. The vehicle should have damage to the passenger side front and possibly passenger side. Witnesses report there being multiple occupants in the striking vehicle when it passed them.
