A hit-and-run crash is under investigation by the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office after a truck struck a small SUV on Pujol Road, near I-10, in Lake Charles, Louisiana on June 8.
According to the initial investigation, the driver of the truck was traveling northbound on Pujol Road when it collided with the SUV from behind. Instead of stopping to render aid, the driver of the truck fled the scene, leaving the occupants of the SUV to deal with the aftermath.
The truck, which sustained major front-end damage, has yet to be located due to switched license plates. Detectives from the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office are urging anyone with information related to this incident to come forward and contact them at 337-491-3605.
CPSO Sgt. Kerrick Gabriel, Jr. is leading the investigation into the hit-and-run crash.
All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
