A man in a wheelchair was struck by a driver who didn’t stop Tuesday night, Atlanta police said.

The victim, whose name was not released, was alert after being struck near the intersection of Memorial Drive and Campbell Street in southeast Atlanta, according to Sgt. Greg Lyon. But the alleged hit-and-run driver did not stop, Lyon said.

Investigators were searching for the car involved, believed to be a gray or silver Dodge Intrepid, police said.

The victim was transported to the hospital for treatment of “road burn,” Lyon said.

No further details were available late Tuesday.
