BENSALEM TWP., Pennsylvania (WPVI) — Bensalem Township police are looking for a hit-and-run driver who critically injured a man on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
Police said a 34-year-old man was crossing around the 2300 block of Lincoln Highway around 9:30 p.m. when a northbound driver struck him and kept going. Police said an eyewitness driver to the hit-and-run called police.<\/p>\n
“The individual was airlifted to a hospital in Philadelphia and is in critical condition,” said Fred Harran, the director of public safety with Bensalem police.<\/p>\n
Police think the man was crossing from the Wawa on the 2300 block of Lincoln Highway in the direction of the hotels on the other side of the street.<\/p>\n
“He was not crossing in the crosswalk,” said Harran.<\/p>\n
The victim lives in the area where he was struck but police aren’t sure if he was on his way home.<\/p>\n
“This guy was crossing, minding his business, going from point A to point B, when someone mowed him down and did nothing stop to render aid,” said Harran.<\/p>\n
Police believe the hit-and-run driver may be driving a silver sedan with front right damage.<\/p>\n
“We need to find who did this, and bring them to justice,” said Harran.<\/p>\n
Anyone with any information is asked to call Bensalem police at 215-633-3719.<\/p>\n
