Woman in Wheelchair Victim of a Hit and Run at New Hampshire and Taylor St, NW this Morning – Any Witnesses?

“Dear PoPville,

A nice young woman who catches the bus here most mornings was victim of a hit and run this morning. Esmeralda was crossing NH Ave on Taylor St at around 7:30 this morning. She was hit on the SE corner of the intersection. She had a nasty cut on her head and she was extremely shaken, but I am hopeful she will be OK. Her new $10,000 wheelchair looks to be a total loss. Could you please ask your readers to contact police if they have any information. It is my understanding that as of early this morning there were no know witnesses.”
