Police are investigating a hit-and-run accident that left a woman injured Tuesday morning.

The woman was walking her dog around 7:30 a.m. on Madison's near east side at Rutledge Street and Riverside Drive when a pick-up truck ran a stop sign and hit her.

The truck dragged the woman about 25 feet. She was taken to the hospital with head injuries.

The truck was later involved in a second hit-and-run accident on Pawling Avenue. Police said the driver took off on foot and has not been found.

Police recovered the truck involved in the accidents and said the driver is a white male, but have no further description of the driver.

"Any information that the community can provide about someone possibly driving this truck or knew something, or heard something about the incident, then hopefully they can provide that to us to help identify the driver, so we can make the appropriate charges because this is obviously a very devestating incident for the victimand the family," said Larry Kamholz, public information officer for Madison Police.

If you have information, contact police at (608) 266-4060.
