NORWICH – The City of Norwich Police Department is seeking information regarding an hit and run which occurred at approximately 1 p.m. on July 6 on South Broad Street.

According to police, a blue Jeep Liberty ran the stop sign located at the intersection of Front and South Broad before striking a tan, 4-door car traveling south on South Broad. The Jeep then fled the scene of the accident – traveling west on Eaton Avenue – ran a second stop sign at the intersection of Eaton and Elm and continued south on Elm Street.

“We’d like to help out these people who got hit, as they’ll be forced to pay the full amount for the damage out-of-pocket,” said officer Jeremy Burdick. “Hit and runs affect all drivers and everybody’s insurance rates go up due to hit and run drivers.”
