Overview
- A woman was struck by a vehicle near 43rd Avenue and Camelback Road and taken to the hospital with life‑threatening injuries after an early Sunday hit-and-run, police said.
- Investigators believe the striking vehicle was an SUV but officers did not locate the car during the on-scene probe, and the roadway was closed for several hours before reopening.
- Hours later, police stopped a vehicle near 40th Avenue and Grant Street and a driver put the vehicle in drive, knocked an officer to the ground and fled while a passenger was being detained; the officer suffered minor injuries.
- As of the latest reports both suspected drivers remain unlocated and the department is asking anyone with information to contact Phoenix Police at 602-262-6151 or submit anonymous tips to Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS or 480-TESTIGO for Spanish callers.
- Detectives continue active investigations into both separate incidents and officials say public tips, video or photos from the west Phoenix area could help identify the vehicles and lead to arrests.
