A man in a wheelchair was struck by an SUV in Downtown Madison Saturday afternoon, with the driver not stopping to check on the man.

The Madison man was taken to a local hospital after the crash but he didn't appear to be seriously hurt, police said.

The crash happened at about 3:25 p.m. at North Broom Street and West Mifflin Street.

The victim was in the crosswalk on North Broom Street and the SUV was turning left from West Mifflin Street onto North Broom Street.

"The collision caused the wheelchair to spin around, but the victim was able to remain seated," said police spokesman Joel DeSpain. "A witness said there was a loud bang when the two connected."

The witness ran over to the crash scene to give help to the victim, while also calling 911.

"The witness said the driver just took off after hitting the wheelchair," DeSpain said.

The SUV is a silver-colored Suzuki Vitara. Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call Crime Stoppers, 266-6014.
