On 27 July 2021 just after 8:00 pm, an adult female resident of Lancaster City was walking with a small child crossing Wabank St. at Fairview Ave. an orange or red in color sedan struck the victim, knocking her and the small child down onto the street, causing non life-threatening injuries to the adult victim. Uninvolved passerby assisted the child and the woman until Police and EMS were called to the scene. 

The unidentified driver of the suspect vehicle fled the scene immediately after striking the victims, failing to render any aid. The Lancaster City Bureau of Police patrol and investigative division are actively investigating this incident.
