NANUET, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) -- Police are looking for a vehicle that they say was involved in a hit-and-run in Nanuet that seriously injured a man working on the roadway.
It happened around 5:30 p.m. on June 9.
Police said workers were repairing a natural gas cap on Second Avenue when a vehicle ignored a flagman who was standing on the corner of Second Avenue and Clinton Avenue, striking a worker who was bent down in the road making the repairs.
The worker, 49-year-old Arthur Babcock, suffered broken bones and lacerations all over his body, police said.
The vehicle was seen on surveillance video in the area.
It is described as a gold Chevy Trailblazer or similar GMC type vehicle with a large black spot on rear driver's side door and a possible push bumper type grill on the front bumper, police said.
A witness said the vehicle did not have New York plates, but said they were blue and white in color, possibly Pennsylvania plates.
It was last seen heading west on Clinton Avenue. The driver was only described by police as a Hispanic man.
