The public's help is sought in dentifying a hit-and-run suspect who hit 86-year-old Eleanor Hartwig while she was on a walk on Sunday, Aug. 31 at around 12:30 p.m., according to Tigard police spokesman Jim Wolf. Hartwig has no memory of being struck, but a passerby saw Hartwig injured in the street and called 911. "Initially it appeared Hartwig's injuries may have been a result of a fall, however after medical personnel examined the victim, it became apparent that the injuries were the result of blunt-force trauma and most likely stemming from being struck by a motor vehicle," Wolf said in a news release.
