Philadelphia Police are seeking the public’s help in solving a Thursday hit-and-run in the city’s Oak Lane neighborhood which left a 28-year-old woman critically injured.

The woman was crossing the street at N. 10th St. and Godfrey Ave. at 5:44 p.m. when she was struck by a vehicle travelling westbound on Godfrey, according to police.

The vehicle, possibly a green or turquoise Ford Windstar or Chrysler Town and Country, was being driven a heavy set woman wearing glasses.

As a result of the collision, from which the driver fled north on 15th Street, the “vehicle should have heavy front end/hood damage as well as a broken front windshield,” police said.
