The Red Oak Police Department requesting your assistance in a hit-and-run investigation. Authorities say that at around 6:30-p.m., Wednesday, Red Oak Rescue and Red Oak Police were dispatched to the 200 block of E. Joy Street, following a call about a pedestrian who had his arm run over by a pickup truck. The victim said he had slipped on the pavement and fell onto the road. After he fell, a pickup truck ran over his arm. The victim said the driver of the pickup stopped and asked if the pedestrian was OK, before leaving the scene of the incident or the arrival of law enforcement.

A witness who was driving-by, told police they saw the truck stopped, causing the other motorist to stop behind the pickup.
