Kanawha County, WV Police Searching for Vehicle Following Pedestrian Hit and Run
Charleston, WV — Kanawha County Authorities are searching for a vehicle that recently struck a pedestrian and continued driving. The pedestrian accident occurred on January 16, 2023, in Charleston, West Virginia, around 3:45 p.m. According to a press release from the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office, the victim was walking in or next to the road in the 200 block of Campbells Creek Drive when he was struck by the passenger side mirror of a vehicle. After striking the victim, the vehicle continued driving in violation of West Virginia law.
