PERRY TWP. – The Highway Patrol is looking for the driver of a dark sedan involved in a hit-skip crash Thursday on Perry Drive NW.
As of 3:15 p.m. Friday, the Patrol had not yet identified or arrested the driver who fled the scene, said Ohio Highway Patrol Lt. Leo Shirkey.
The crash happened around 4:41 p.m. on Perry north of Tuscarawas Street when a dark-colored sedan failed to yield from turning out of the Aldi grocery parking lot, according to police.
The sedan turned left onto Perry northbound and a 2003 silver Harley Davidson struck the rear of the sedan.
The 44-year-old Canton man on the motorcycle suffered serious injuries and was transported to Aultman Hospital by Perry Township EMS.
According to police, the sedan did not stop and continued north.
The sedan could possibly be a dark-colored or black Chevy Impala. The sedan will have damage to the rear bumper and taillights.
Anyone with information about the crash or the sedan involved is encouraged to call the Ohio Highway Patrol's Canton post at 330-433-6200.
