YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - The Yuma Police Department (YPD) is looking for a suspect involved in a hit-and-run over the weekend.

The 23-year-old from the Dodge was taken to the hospital with non-serious injuries.

YPD as some advice for people who get angry on the road

“Getting into a road rage incident with somebody in the middle of the street, trying to strike them, could cause serious damage, you could kill them, it’s not worth it just for an inconvenience for a second,” said Sgt. Lori Franklin.

The suspect driving the Honda left the scene and police are still looking for him.

If you have any information on this case, YPD encourages to reach out to YCSO or call 78-crime to remain anonymous.
