TAUNTON, MASS. (WHDH) - Police in Taunton are searching for a snow plow driver who struck a woman Tuesday night, leaving her with serious injuries.
Cynthia McDonald, 63, was out shoveling on Bay Street when she was hit by the plow. She said the driver fled the scene.
McDonald was rushed to the hospital, where she remains in the ICU with a broken leg, broken ribs and a punctured lung.
McDonald’s son sent out a photo of his mother, hoping the plow driver that hit her will have a change of heart and come forward.
The truck that fled the scene was yellow and the size of a dump truck, according to McDonald.
Neighbors called 911 and rushed to help her when they heard screams. They tried to keep her calm while waiting for the ambulance.
“I think its horrible,” said one neighbor. “Somebody take off and leave somebody in the streets it’s not right.”
The incident is under investigation.
