Paraplegic Injured in Hit-Run Accident
A paraplegic man crossing Wooley Road in his wheelchair was struck by a truck whose driver fled the scene, authorities said Saturday.
Jerry Law, 29, of Oxnard was in critical but stable condition Saturday night at Ventura County Medical Center in Ventura, a nursing supervisor said.
Authorities believe Law was crossing Wooley Road at Mercantile Street about 11:50 p.m. Friday when the wheels of his wheelchair became stuck in railroad tracks. A truck traveling west on Wooley Road struck Law.
The truck was described as a late 1980s or early 1990s white Nissan pickup. Anyone with information should call traffic investigators at 385-7749.
