Police in Plymouth County have arrested and charged a man in connection with a hit-and-run crash that injured a pedestrian on Friday evening.

According to Chief Christopher Delmonte, at approximately 5:15 p.m., the Bridgewater Police Department received several 911 calls reporting that a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle in the area of 71 Burrill Ave.

Upon officers’ arrival, witnesses reported that the vehicle involved left the scene at a high rate of speed after stopping briefly. Officers were unable to locate a suspect vehicle in the area immediately after the crash.

The victim, a 19-year-old woman, was transported by ambulance to an area hospital to be treated for injuries. She has since been released from the hospital.

Upon locating the vehicle, detectives found it to have damage consistent with the crash.
