Charges Likely In Uniontown Hit & Run

UNIONTOWN, Pa. — (WPXI) – A hit-and-run crash in Uniontown damaged two vehicles on Sunday night, totaling one of them. ”I was in my bedroom right here and heard it, it was like a bomb went off and I came out and saw my car and I was pretty upset about it,” Angela Soom said. Soom found her SUV parked in front of her house on Coolspring Street in Uniontown mangled and totaled. It is her family’s only means of transportation.”I take her to doctor’s appointments. My mother is disabled she can’t see, I take her to her appointments,” Soom explained. The impact was so hard that it not only caused significant damage to her SUV and her fence, but the force pushed her car into her neighbor’s truck. ”Troopers were at another incident when they heard a loud crash,” Trooper Kalee Barnhart said. It turns out that the driver who took off was not far away.”They were able to follow a trail of leaking fluid and found that at-fault vehicle at the residence,” Barnhart said. State police said that the driver will likely be charged with at least several summary offenses.
