TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL)-- Tallahassee Police are searching for a suspect after a hit and run early Sunday morning.
It happened on North Monroe Street at the intersection of Lakeshore Drive just after 1:00 a.m. Two cars, a Subaru and a Hyundai, were stopped at the light when a silver Mitsubishi crashed into the back of the Subaru, sending it into the back of the Hyundai. A few seconds later, the driver drove away from the scene. A witness decided to follow the driver and says he saw the car turn into the Crystal River Seafood Restaurant parking lot. The car crashed into a wooded area behind the restaurant. The witness says he saw a woman in a gray shirt get out of the car and walk away.
The driver of the Hyundai was WTXL ABC27 Producer, Reporter and Anchor Christina Griffiths. The driver of the Subaru was Weekend Sports Anchor Dave Griffiths. They were on their way home from work. Neither was injured, besides a couple of bruises and some soreness the next morning. Both say they're happy the situation did not turn out worse and are thankful for the witnesses who stopped to make sure they were okay and to tell police what they saw, especially the first witness who stopped and immediately told them he would follow the driver.
If you have any information, call the Tallahassee Police Department at 850-606-4200.
