Littleton police: Hit-and-run driver abandoned truck after pedestrian’s legs were mangled at King Soopers

Littleton police said a hit-and-run driver abandoned a truck after a pedestrian's legs were mangled at a King Soopers. Detectives are asking for the public's help.

A hit-and-run driver left a pedestrian with mangled legs at a King Soopers in Littleton and then ditched the truck used in the crash, police said.

Littleton police said the pedestrian suffered severe leg injuries in the collision at the grocery store. Investigators said the driver fled and later abandoned the truck connected to the crash.

Detectives are asking residents for information as they try to locate the suspect and reconstruct the crash. Police have not released the victim's name or the truck's exact description, and investigators did not say whether any witnesses had come forward.

The King Soopers property became the focus of the investigation as officers worked to confirm how the crash unfolded. Police have not released surveillance video or said whether the pedestrian was in a parking lane, a sidewalk, or a crosswalk when the truck struck them.

Littleton police said anyone with information about the hit-and-run should contact investigators or submit a tip to Metro Denver Crime Stoppers. Police asked residents with relevant security footage or dash camera video from the King Soopers area to send it to detectives.

No arrest has been made, and the investigation remains open as police look for the driver and the person who abandoned the truck.

Detectives said tips can help establish when the crash occurred, where the truck went afterward, and who was behind the wheel. Police said the case remains active while investigators follow up on evidence from the store and nearby streets.
