JERSEY CITY, N.J. (1010 WINS) — A 63-year-old man was left critically injured after a hit-and-run crash in Jersey City on Friday night, authorities said.
Jersey City Police responded to a 911 call about a crash just before 5 a.m. on Roosevelt Avenue where they found the victim inside of a Toyota Rav 4 with serious injuries, police said.
An investigation revealed the victim had collided with a Chevrolet Camaro. The driver of the Camaro fled the scene on foot, officials said.
Police discovered the Camaro had been stolen just a few minutes before the crash occurred from the area of West Side Avenue and Union Street.
The victim was transported to a nearby hospital where he remains in critical condition.
The suspect was last seen on surveillance footage wearing a dark-colored hooded Nike track jacket with dark athletic pants tucked into a classic-style white high top sneaker. He has dark hair and visible facial hair in a goatee-style.
Investigators are also searching for the car the suspect was seen driving before the initial vehicle theft, a burgundy-colored 2013-2018 Acura RDX. The Acura appears to have a unique hitch-mounted bicycle rack at the rear of the car.
Anyone with information about the suspect or the vehicle he was operating is asked to contact the Collision Investigation Unit at 201-915-1345.
