Erie police are searching for a black sport-utility vehicle after authorities said its driver injured three pedestrians at a downtown intersection before fleeing Nov. 21.
The victims, two women and a man in their 20s, were taken to UPMC Hamot following the accident, which was reported at about 10 p.m. Nov. 21 at 11th and State streets. Details on the extent of their injuries and whether any were still hospitalized was unavailable Nov. 24.
One of the women who was hit was reported to be pregnant, Erie police Deputy Chief Rick Lorah said Nov. 24.
According to Erie police, the three people were crossing the intersection when they were struck by a black Chevrolet Equinox that was reportedly traveling east on 11th Street and attempting to turn north on State Street.

The man driving the SUV stopped and apologized to the victims before reportedly driving over one of the victims as he fled heading east, according to Lorah. The male victim reportedly grabbed the door of the SUV as if sped off, and the man’s foot and ankle were run over, Lorah said.
The accident remained under investigation Nov. 24.
