Shortly before 6 a.m. on July 27, police responded to a hit-and-run crash at 2300 East and 3051 South in Millcreek. The incident began when someone struck a cat, and Vanorman got out of her vehicle to render aid to the animal.

A black SUV was reportedly stopped in the middle lane with hazards on, close to Vanorman’s vehicle, near the time of the incident. Police said the person or people inside the SUV may have witnessed the hit-and-run.

Unified Police are reminding the public that the black SUV is not the suspect vehicle. Those inside may simply have been witnesses, or may possibly have information regarding the incident. Police are urging them to come forward at this time.
