(Red Oak, Iowa) – Police in Red Oak say a hit-and-run property damage incident was reported Friday evening. Officers were dispatched to the 400 block of E. Reed Street at around 6:15-p.m., following a reported hit-and-run that had just occurred. On the scene, a legally parked 2014 Subaru Forester SUV had damage to the driver’s side door, with an apparent dark colored paint transfer on the vehicle where the impact occurred.

The owner of the vehicle said she and her boyfriend were sitting in their apartment, when they heard a loud bang-type noise. When the boyfriend went out to check her vehicle, he saw that it had been side-swiped. A dark colored “box-type” vehicle was seen heading west on East Reed Street.

The SUV sustained about $5,000 damage. It was not insured, according to the owner, due to a family matter.
