ROY — A 66-year-old man was seriously injured by a car that hit him in Roy, police said late Monday. The car that hit him fled the scene afterward, and police are asking for the public’s help.
The man was hit near 3700 S. Midland Drive, according to the Roy Police Department. After officers arrived, the man was quickly taken to a nearby hospital. Officers did not provide his name.
On Tuesday night, police said the man hit was in “critical but stable condition.” No identification was released at the time of publication.
Police said they were looking for a 2008-2012 Buick Enclave believed to be involved.
“At this time we believe the car to be a white or pearl white color and will be missing a side view mirror,” police said.
The man’s neighbors and friends said he has actually been hit four separate times on that same road, Midland Drive. Neighbor Vickie Hathaway said in one instance, he was riding a bicycle and a truck hit him in the back of the head with its side mirror. Another time, he was “clipped by somebody’s mirror while walking down the road.”
Police asked anyone who may have been in the area around 6:20 p.m. and have any information to contact Weber County Dispatch at 801-395-8221.
