Hit and Run - Your Help Needed

The Morning Call (read it here) and Express-Times (read it here) both report that a boy was hit on his bike while using the cross-walk infront of Lower Nazareth Elementary School.

If getting hit by a pick-up truck wasn't enough to shake him up, the driver felt compelled to curse at the boy prior to speeding away.

As a reminder, drivers are to yield to pedestrians in cross walks. If there is an intersection of roads, but no cross walk is painted - it is still a cross walk and the driver should yield. The cone/signs that have been installed are helpful, but it doesn't mean drivers don't have to yield when one isn't present.

Any information please contact the Colonial Regional Police (from the articles):
