Boulder police are seeking the public’s help in identifying a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run crash which left a man seriously injured on Tuesday.
According to the Boulder Police Department’s post on X, just before 7 a.m. Tuesday a community member called officers when he found an injured man in his front yard.
Emergency personnel took the man to the hospital with serious injuries and when he regained consciousness, he told police that he had been hit by someone driving a car that left the scene, according to the post.
The victim is a 40-year-old man who was visiting Boulder from out of town. The man told police that he was walking back to his hotel at 2701 Canyon Blvd. between 2 and 2:30 a.m. when he was struck crossing 17th Street at a stop light.
