The Green Bay Police Department is looking for the public’s help in locating a vehicle and identifying the driver of a hit-and-run crash that sent a 14-year-old pedestrian to the hospital.
The incident occurred on Wednesday, September 13, 2023, around 2:00 p.m. on the City’s east side at the intersection of Main Street & N. Baird Street.
Witnesses reported to police that a newer black Ford or Chevrolet pickup with a large Mexican flag in the bed of the truck was traveling southbound on N. Baird Street when it struck the teenager while turning west onto Main Street, and never stopped, causing non-life-threatening injuries.
“We understand that this is a vague vehicle description and with Mexican Independence Day being celebrated on Saturday, September 16, 2023, there may be an abundance of trucks with flags that match the suspect vehicle. However, the specific truck that we are looking for may have front-end damage near the bumper, so please take that into consideration as we ask for the public’s assistance in this case,” said Captain Clint Beguhn, Green Bay Police Department.
This investigation is ongoing, and no additional details will be released at this time.
Anyone with information related to this case is encouraged to call Green Bay Police at (920) 448-3200 and reference case #23-250964.
