Earlier in the day, 42-year-old Isaac Goff of Toledo was critically injured in a pedestrian accident near the intersection of Alexis Road and Lewis Avenue around 2 a.m.

Officials say the driver that hit Goff fled the scene and as of Thursday evening they were still searching for that person.

In Swanton Township, troopers are also searching for a hit-and-run driver who struck a 15-year-old girl walking along State Route 295 near Soul Road late Wednesday night.

According to the Ohio Highway Patrol, Cheyenne Marie Lewis was walking northbound off the right side of the roadway just before 10 p.m. when a "dark colored pickup with a loud exhaust" struck her with the passenger side mirror. Lewis fell to the ground and sustained non-life threatening injuries.

The pickup continued northbound and did not stop. No other information could be given by the victim about the vehicle.

Anyone with information on that case should contact the Toledo Highway Patrol at (419)-895-0910.
