My neighbors and I were the victims of a hit-and-run auto accident last night and I wanted to put out a description of the vehicle in case anyone sees it around town. We live in the 2200 block of Tilghman Street in Allentown. Both my neighbor and his wife's cars were struck by a dark red SUV, possibly a Chevy, boxy like a Jeep or a Land Rover and possibly with a black roof or a black luggage rack. After striking the vehicles, the SUV careened onto the sidewalk and ran over two trees in my front yard before coming to a stop. I saw the SUV for about two seconds while it was stopped on the sidewalk with its lights off before the driver fled the scene east on Tilghman to the traffic light, then south on 22nd Street.

The SUV will have extensive front end damage on the passenger side, including the loss of the side mirror, and will have made a high-pitched squealing sound from the damage to the wheel assembly. If you see this vehicle please call the Allentown Police at 610-437-7751. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
