Middletown Police Attempt to ID Motorcyclist Involved in Hit-and-Run

Middletown police are attempting to identify the motorcyclist who they said was in a hit-and-run crash involving a pedestrian last week.

Officers were called to a crash involving a motorcycle and pedestrian at the intersection of Newfield Street and Westfield Street around 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

A preliminary investigation shows that a 50-year-old man was crossing Newfield Street from Westfield Street in the crosswalk when a motorcyclist traveling southbound on Newfield Street hit him, police said.
