Police Trace Car Damage to Parking Lot Hit-and-Run

Police responded to the intersection of East Green Bay Avenue and Foster Drive after reports of a one-vehicle accident.

Upon arrival at 10:39 a.m. Sept. 21, police noted significant passenger side front end damage, according to police reports.  The driver, a 75 year-old Saukville man, told police that he simply clipped a pole. 

The driver seemed confused and disoriented, the report said, and a Saukville ambulance was called to transport the man to Aurora Grafton for medical attention.

Police noticed the yellow paint transfer on the man's car, and were able to trace it to a yellow traffic sign that was down at Plaza Drive, the entrance to Wal-Mart, the report said.

The man’s car was towed and he was issued municipal citations for hit and run property adjacent to highway, failure to notify Police of an accident, and inattentive driving.  A driver condition report was also done on the man and will be sent to the Department of Transportation.
