Nacogdoches Police Officers are continuing to investigate a felony hit and run accident in the 3300 block of NE Stallings late Saturday night.
At approximately 10:13 pm, NPD dispatch received a call about a teenage pedestrian accident victim lying in the roadway on NE Stallings Dr across from Nacogdoches High School. The teenage pedestrian victim was coming or going from the Nacogdoches Homecoming dance at the high school at the time of the accident.
NPD investigators have reason to believe the suspect vehicle might be white in color, possibly a Honda or Acura, which will likely have moderate front end damage.
NPD is asking the public for help. Employers who change shifts at approximately 10 pm are asked to notify NPD if there are any vehicles possibly related to this incident on their property. Body shops, auto repair shops and insurance agencies are also asked to be on extra alert for this type of vehicle coming to their attention for repairs or insurance claims.
“A young teenage man is still in the hospital in critical condition, and we are desperately trying to determine what happened Saturday night and who was involved in the accident and why they didn’t stop,” said Lt. Dan Taravella.
Nacogdoches Police are asking anyone with information about the accident to notify the NPD Traffic Division at 936-559-2639 or Nacogdoches Crime Stoppers at 560-INFO(4636).
