On Christmas Day at about 6:40 p.m., Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to an area on North Perkins Ferry Road just south of Poeyfarre Drive in Moss Bluff in reference to a pedestrian-vehicle accident.
The initial investigation revealed the pedestrian was walking northbound on N. Perkins Ferry Road when she was hit from behind by a vehicle traveling north, which then left the scene.
The vehicle is believed to have minor damages to the passenger side headlight area and front right quarter panel.
The victim was transported to a local hospital. She was treated for multiple broken bones and later released.
Deputies have attempted to identify the suspect vehicle, but have been unsuccessful and are asking anyone with information to call Lt. Bryan Guth at (337) 491-3846.
