MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. — Police say a man is in the hospital with serious injuries after a hit-and-run crash in Montgomery County. 

Officers from the Montgomery County Police Department responded to the Columbia Pike and Prelude Dr. area just before 10 p.m. after receiving word that a pedestrian had been hit.

Originally police said the person hit was a juvenile, but have since reported the victim was over the age of 18. Officials say the man was transported to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries. He is in critical condition.

Friday afternoon, officials released more details surrounding the hit and run. 

According to investigators, the unidentified man was crossing northbound Columbia Pike when he was hit near the crosswalk by a gray 2014 Ford Fusion. Officers claim they later found a vehicle matching that description with damage consistent with hitting a pedestrian. 

Investigators say the driver of that vehicle has been located but there is no word on any charges at this time. 

The case remains active and the Collision Reconstruction Unit continues to investigate. Anyone with information should contact CRU at 240-773-6620.
