Hanson police are asking the public for help identifying a car involved in a hit-and-run crash that happened early Thursday evening.

Hanson fire and police responded to the scene and found a man in his 40s with serious injuries, police said. A medical helicopter was called in by Hanson fire, which flew the man to a nearby hospital.
