Columbia Police investigating hit-and-run in Brooklyn

    The Columbia Township Police Department is looking for the driver in a hit-and-run accident on Tuesday night that left a man unconscious in the street.

   At around midnight, Officer Jeff Anderson was dispatched to the corner of Main Street and Marshall Street for a person laying injured in the roadway. The 47-year-old man from Brooklyn was laying against the curb and was seriously injured. He was taken by ambulance to Allegiance Health, and then by helicopter to University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor.

    A southbound motorist saw the man and called police. While canvasing the neighborhood, one resident said that a "thud" was heard shortly before the man was found.

   The man regained consciousness for a short time at the scene but was unable to provide any details about the car that struck him. Even though he was laying against the southbound curb, it is unknown for certain which direction a suspects car would be traveling.

   The victim is listed in stable condition. A next-of-kin have not yet been notified; the name of the victim has not yet been released.

   Anyone with information is asked to call the Columbia Township police department at 517.592.3122. Although it is unknown the extent of the damage to the suspect vehicle, it is believed that it would show visible damage from the impact.
