Hit-and-Run In Summit: Did You See It?

Area woman Erin Golden is seeking information from anyone who may have been at the scene of a hit-and-run that left her vehicle with approximately $4,000 in damage.

The accident occurred off of Beachwood Road and Union Place in the Starbucks parking lot at approximately 6:40 a.m. Monday when a driver in a navy blue Audi SUV struck the vehicle and became ensnared.

Golden was inside the Starbucks while her car was in the 15-minute express parking space when the woman hit her vehicle. Witnesses said that the Audi driver repeatedly put her car in reverse in order to free herself, which resulted in a hole behind Golden’s left tail light.

Golden exited the Starbucks to find a crowd of witnesses around her vehicle. No one at the scene was able to write the driver’s plate in time. The driver sped off once the vehicle was freed and turned right onto Maple Street.

The Summit Police Department took a report of the incident. Golden is seeking any information on the accident or the driver from witnesses. If you saw the incident or know the driver, you may contact Summit PD at 908-273-0051 or email Golden at eringolden@ymail.com.
