The Akron Police Department is asking for the public's help finding a driver who critically injured a man in a hit-skip crash last week.
According to authorities, the crash happened on Feb. 9 around 4:07 p.m. near S. Arlington and Ray Streets. Authorities say the 47-year-old victim was riding a bicycle north on S. Arlington Street when he was hit by a white sedan that was turning onto Ray Street.When EMS responded to the scene, they found the bicyclist unconscious, having sustained life-threatening injuries from the crash."It's pretty heartless that you would just leave somebody that badly injured behind after what probably is an accident," said Captain Michael Miller.
No further description of the vehicle was provided, but Miller said it should have front-end damage, which could include a damaged windshield.We don’t just report the initial story—we follow through to its conclusion.

In October of 2020, 64-year-old Army veteran George Fry died when he was struck by a car while crossing Arlington near Exchange Street— less than two miles from where the bicyclist and Palm were killed."It's something we that we never forget. We'd like to provide those answers to the respective families," Miller said."I want to first extend my sympathies to the victim in this incident.
