Police released a photo of the driver who allegedly slammed into a woman as she was crossing Blackstone Avenue in central Fresno on Saturday.

Fresno police say they are looking for a blue Ford Explorer that’s a late ‘90s to early 2000s model. It also has a gray trim along the bottom. The SUV probably has a broken side headlight and damage to the passenger side hood.

The man inside is described as having a large build and wearing a white T-shirt.

Police say the woman was crossing Blackstone near Cornell Avenue when she was hit on Saturday evening. She suffered a broken leg and was taken to a hospital for treatment. The SUV continued north on Blackstone toward Shields Avenue.

Anyone with information on the SUV or driver is asked to contact Detective Edward Jansen at 559-621-5052 or to report anonymously via Crime Stoppers at 559-498-7867.
