SONOMA (CBS SF) -- The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office has released photos of a vehicle that is believed to have fled after striking a pedestrian Friday afternoon in Sonoma, in an attempt to locate the driver.
The crash occurred around 4 p.m. near Broadway and Andrieux Street, sheriff's officials said.
The male victim had been crossing the street while in the crosswalk when the suspect vehicle struck them before fleeing the scene, according to sheriff's officials.
