Asheville -- Press Release The Asheville Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run

 that left a pedestrian with serious injuries in downtown Asheville last November.

Officers responded near the intersection of Haywood Street and Montford Avenue around 5:42 p.m. on November 8, 2024, to investigate a hit-and-run with injuries. Upon arrival, emergency personnel were rendering aid to the victim, who was transported to Mission Hospital with serious injuries and is currently recovering.

Through investigation, including a review of available surveillance video, it was determined the victim was riding a skateboard on Haywood Street when they were struck from behind by a burgundy Toyota RAV4, which continued without stopping.
