Information Sought on Janesville Traffic Accident

The Janesville Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying and locating a vehicle that caused a traffic accident on August 17, 2022 at about 10:54 a.m. in the area of Humes Road and Kennedy Road. A blue or teal colored sedan driven by a white male in his 50s or 60s with a dog in the front seat was driving recklessly east on Humes Road. The suspect vehicle cut off another vehicle and that driver tried to follow it. The suspect vehicle suddenly hit its brakes and the other driver evasively swerved leaving the roadway, nearly hitting a pedestrian in a wheelchair and the vehicle overturned as it went over the embankment. The driver of the overturned vehicle had to be extricated by the Janesville Fire Department and suffered a serious leg injury.
 
Cameras at a nearby business were checked and did not yield any helpful video.
