WATERBORO — Sheriff ’s deputies this morning were asking for the public’s help in locating a red pick-up truck they say struck a man walking on West Road Monday night and kept driving.

The pedestrian, Bruce Weagle, 69, was bruised and temporarily lost the feeling in his left hand. He was treated at the Sanford campus of Southern Maine Health Care and later released.

The force of the blow broke the mirror on the pick-up truck.

York County Sheriff Bill King said Weagle was walking on West Road at about 5:20 p.m., looking for his 2-year-old golden retriever Tobie, who had run off.

“Weagle found Tobie wandering in the vicinity of the 900 block of West Road, a section that is hilly and dark,” King said in a news release. “After retrieving the dog, Weagle was returning to his parked vehicle, walking with the flow of traffic on West Road when he noticed a pick-up truck approaching. Since he was wearing dark clothing and it was dark, he waved his arms to make his presence known but the truck did not deter from its route and the truck’s passenger side mirror struck Weagle’s left hand. The impact caused part of the black plastic mirror to break off. The vehicle continued northerly toward Ross Corner Road without stopping.”

King said it is thought that the truck was a full-size pick-up, manufacturer unknown, and Weagle did not recall any identifying features, besides the broken mirror.

The sheriff ’s office is asking anybody with information to contact the office at 324-1113 or contact Deputy Travis Belleard at TCBelleard@co.york.me.us.
