The Ohio State Highway Patrol is asking for the public's help locating a hit-skip vehicle that hit a tree in the road in Bethlehem Township, leaving three pedestrians injured, including one man in critical condition.
Troopers responded to the crash on Hudson Drive, east of Beth Avenue, around 10:37 p.m. on May 23.
According to OSHP investigators, a 21-year-old of Canton, a 79-year-old of Navarre, and a 69-year-old of Navarre, all stopped at the downed tree.
OSHP officials said a vehicle struck the tree, causing it to hit all three people, who were standing in the roadway next to the tree. Officials said the vehicle continued driving down the road.
The 21-year-old was treated on the scene and released, but OSHP officials said the 79-year-old's injuries were life-threatening, and the 69-year-old was seriously injured. The 79-year-old and 69-year-old were both taken to the hospital.
OSHP said the vehicle involved is possibly a small, light-colored four-door sedan, and it is potentially white, silver, or gray.
