MIAMI – A 64-year-old woman was struck by a vehicle Wednesday morning while walking in the city of Miami, authorities confirmed.
The crash was reported around 6 a.m. in the area of Northwest 17th Avenue and 60th Street.
According to authorities, Initha Lipscomb, was crossing the street when she was hit by a driver in a blue Toyota.
Police said the driver failed to stop to render aid and fled the scene while driving northbound on 17th Avenue.
Authorities said after the crash, Lipscomb ended up on the doorstep of the My Little Kitchen (MLK) restaurant in Miami.
She was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center in stable condition with possible leg and hip injuries.
Lipscomb’s son, Maurice Darling, said she was on the way to his home when the incident happened.
“She was en route, I guess, to my house this morning because we had to take care of some things,” he said.
Darling told Local 10 News that he still can’t believe someone did not have enough courage to stop to see if his mother was OK.
No other details were immediately released.
Anyone with information is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
