Vehicle-Pedestrian Accident Investigated

TYLER – Tyler police are looking for the vehicle that hit a woman around 6:00 Monday night in the 700 block of North Palace. Slightly injured was Latosha Little, 29, of Tyler.

Little told officers she was crossing North Palace Street, walking east to west. She reached the center turn lane and was struck by a north bound vehicle that was traveling in the turn lane. Apparently the vehicle was preparing to make a left hand turn onto West Bow Street. The vehicle struck Little, rolling her onto the hood and then to the ground.

Little walked to the A&W grocery to use the phone and the vehicle that struck her pulled into the parking lot. The vehicle was being driven by an elderly black male. When he was told that Little was calling the police, the driver left the scene. Little was unable to provide a detailed description of the suspect or his vehicle. Investigators are attempting to obtain video from surveillance cameras at the A&W Grocery.

Little complained of lower back pain. She was transported to East Texas Medical Center Hospital by EMS.
