3 women critically injured after hit-and-run in Wilmington, Delaware
The Wilmington Police Department is investigating a hit-and-run crash that critically injured three women early Saturday morning.
Police said the hit-and-run happened just after 2 a.m. on the 1600 block of Delaware Avenue in Wilmington's Trolley Square neighborhood.
Investigators found three women: a 33-year-old, a 35-year-old, and a 36-year-old, all of whom had been hit by the car before it took off, according to police.
Trolley Square, which is filled with restaurants, bars and shops, is a popular spot that gets crowded, especially on weekends.
"That's kind of hard to believe this is a nice area... really don't hear too much about that going on around here," said Chaz Crews. "Like I said, I frequent the Trolley Tap House a lot so I'm pretty surprised that something like that happened."
The three women suffered critical injuries and were taken to the hospital, police said.
Investigators have yet to release any additional information about the driver or what kind of car was involved.
The Wilmington Police Department's Special Operations Division/Traffic Unit is investigating the hit-and-run.
Anyone who witnessed or has video of the crash is asked to contact Master Corporal Paul Simonds at (302) 553-1598.
