Grady Memorial Hospital is trying to find out the identity of a critically ill patient.

The man arrived at the hospital just before 2 a.m. on Feb. 5, Grady spokeswoman Denise Simpson said.

He was the victim of a hit-and-run accident at the intersection of Buford Highway and North Druid Hills Road, police said.

The patient, thought to be Hispanic and in his mid-30s, is 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighs 154 pounds. He has dark hair, but did not have a moustache and goatee when he was admitted to the hospital, Simpson said.

If you recognize the man, please call Grady Social Services at 404-616-5331.
