Police seek suspect in Roxbury hit and run
By Stewart Bishop, Globe Correspondent
A car struck and injured a bicyclist this morning in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood and then drove off, police said.
The bicyclist was hit near the intersection of St. James and Washington streets at 10:17 a.m. by what a witness told police was a black Honda Accord. The witness also gave investigators a partial plate number, and officers are searching for the vehicle, according to Officer Joe Zanoli, a Boston Police spokesman.
The victim of the hit and run was taken to Boston Medical Center with what police described as non-life-threatening injuries.
Police were able to locate the owner of the vehicle. He said he was not driving it at the time of the incident, but he provided police with the name of the individual who had possession of the car at the time of the accident. Police said they have a suspect they are actively seeking.
