The incident happened at the intersection of State Street and Calle Palo Colorado at 9:53 this morning. A 41-year old female was walking across the intersection when she was struck by a vehicle travelling eastbound that failed to stop. The victim suffered “significant injuries,” according to police, and “was transported to Cottage Hospital by ambulance.”
The suspect is described as a dark-skinned male, possibly Hispanic or Middle Eastern, 50-60 years old, square face, unshaven, with black hair. He was driving a glossy black pick-up truck with a black camper (pictured above), and was seen driving through a nearby Shell gas station fleeing northbound on Calle Palo Colorado. The vehicle may have minor to moderate front end or hood damage due to the collision.
The suspect is wanted for felony hit-and-run. Police ask anyone with information on this incident to please contact Officer Mark Hunt of the Santa Barbara Police Department at 805-897-3719.
