CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio — A 25-year-old woman was taken to the hospital Friday night at Blossom Music Center after she was struck by a vehicle that fled from the scene.
It happened around 11 p.m. following the Avril Lavigne concert. The woman was walking to her car when she was struck, investigators said.
According to Sheriff Kandy Fatheree, the victim was walking on the side of the road— not on a walkway— when she was hit. It was rainy and dark with little lighting in the area.
Fatheree said the woman's injuries were serious, but not life-threatening.
Cuyahoga Falls firefighters said the woman suffered a head injury. She was taken to Cleveland Clinic Akron General. Her condition hasn't been released.
Authorities haven't released a description of the vehicle involved.
If found, the driver could face a felony charge for failure to stop after an accident.
"It's totally irresponsible. Even if they had been drinking, the ramifications would not have been near as bad as they're going be once we find them. I mean, just stop," Fatheree said.
Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call the sheriff's office at 330-643-2147 or 330-643-2181.
