“Hit & Run outside 9:30 club” last night (Friday)

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

My husband was hit by a car going in reverse while we were walking in a crosswalk at a 4 way stop, right outside 9:30 club – the corner of V & 8th. It happened around 12:45am and the plate was Virginia.”

The driver rolled down the window to ask if he was okay- when I said no, he sped off.

Any chance you might be able to post asking for anyone to submit any info/photos/video they may have?”

If you have info please email me at [email protected] and I’ll pass on to OP. Thank you.
