Detectives Investigating Hit and Run with Injuries

The O’Fallon Police Department is currently investigating a hit and run traffic crash and asking for help.  On Saturday, May 15, 2021 at about 11:27pm, a motorcyclist was traveling West on Central Park when a silver 2008 or 2009 Ford Taurus turned from Central Park Circle in front of him.  The motorcyclist was unable to avoid striking the front of the Taurus.  The motorcyclist received serious but non-life-threatening injuries.  The driver of the Taurus fled and continued East on Central Park.  The Taurus should have damage along the front passenger side bumper. 

Based upon preliminary information, we believe the occupants of the Taurus were at Buffalo Wild Wings just prior to the crash.  This investigation is ongoing, and detectives are continuing to follow-up on leads.

This is an exemplar photo of the type of vehicle we are looking for.
