Westwood Police Search For Driver Who Injured Woman, Killed Dog
WESTWOOD (CBS) – Police in Westwood are looking for the driver who hit a woman and her dog and then fled the scene. The crash happened shortly before 9:00 pm Monday night on Route 1A.
The woman, 26-year-old Jillian Belanger, was transported to the hospital and remains in critical condition. The dog died as a result of the crash.
Police say it was still light out when the crash happened.
