WALLINGFORD, Conn. — Wallingford Police are looking for whoever struck two pedestrians and then kept going on Saturday night. 

Police say the accident happened at approximately 5:11 pm, in the area of 243 Cook Hill Road.  Police say they got several 9-1-1 calls reporting the accident. 

Police say a male and female were in the roadway changing a flat tire when a vehicle traveling westbound on Cook Hill Road struck them.  The vehicle briefly stopped a short distance ahead but then continued traveling westbound.

Both victims were transported to the hospital with what appeared to be non-life-threatening injuries.

Police say one of the victims and a witness described the evading vehicle as a silver-colored sedan. The car should have damage to the passenger-side front quarter panel, including a broken headlamp lens.  

Anyone with information about this vehicle or the operator is asked to call the Wallingford Police Department at 203 294-2800.
