CY-26C-01801

Coplay Police Department is seeking the assistance of the public for a case involving a pedestrian struck in the area of S. 2nd St. near Hokendauqua St. On September 10th, 2026 at about 7:35 pm, a female was assisting her son placing a bicycle into the trunk of her SUV when she was struck by a suspected silver or pewter colored Toyota Camry 2004-2010.

The driver, described as a white male in his 50's with white facial hair, stopped to check on the pedestrian. The pedestrian stated she was ok and parties did not exchange information. Later, the pedestrian went to the hospital and learned her injuries were much more severe than believed.

No charges at this time are being referred but officers are seeking the driver to come forward to exchange information given the severity of the incident. Any information please contact the Coplay Police Department.
