Hit-and-run driver pretends to be witness, gives statement to police after plowing into pedestrian in Oak Park
OAK PARK, Mich. A hit-and-run driver who injured a 67-year-old woman in Oak Park pretended to be a witness and even gave a statement to police. Police believe the driver who hit her stopped and tried to pretend she was a witness to the crash, not the person who caused it. Ive never seen somebody stop, get out of their car, go check on the person and pretend to be a witness, give a witness statement and then disappear, said Jordan Acker, an attorney. Police are still looking for the driver who hit Applebaum. Anyone with information about the crash is asked to contact Oak Park police at 248-691-7520.
