Westwood Police Looking for Truck in Hit and Run

Westwood Police responded to a report of a truck striking a bicyclist on Hartford Street Saturday afternoon, according to reports.

Upon arrival to the area, Police determined that a 63-year-old bicyclist from Natick had sustained a hand injury after a red truck pulling a trailer made contact with the bicyclist.

Both the truck and the bicyclist were traveling in the same direction on Hartford Street toward Dover, and the driver of the truck did not stop.

It is unknown at this time if the truck operator knew that the bicyclist had been hit, Police said. The bicyclist was conscious and alert on the scene, and Dover Police were notified of the incident and were asked to inform Westwood Police if they spotted the truck.

The matter was still under investigation as of Monday. Westwood Patch will provide more information as it becomes available.
