Bristol Police Log: Police investigate a hit and run
BRISTOL — On Nov. 8 Bristol police responded to a hit and run on Prince Lane near Mountain Street.
Witnesses reported that the vehicle, a silver Subaru Outback, struck a rock wall, lost control, swerved off a graveled area and down a three-foot embankment into a private yard, struck some lawn furniture, and then left the scene.
Evidence at the scene indicates that the Subaru sustained front-end damage. Witnesses believe the Subaru was possibly racing with another vehicle through the Shaw’s parking lot when it crashed.
