Couple's Cars Smashed in Driveway in Morning Hit and Run

Woman asks for community's help finding the driver

TOWN HILL—A Town Hill couple is hoping the community can help them find the person who smashed into their vehicles, which were parked in their driveway. The driver then left.

This morning a Town Hill couple woke up to a crash outside their home. A post from Chelsea White detailed both the destruction to her car and then the damage to her boyfriend’s truck in the driveway at their residence near the end of the Indian Point Road, as well as the frustration involved.

“FACEBOOK WORLD!!! I need my island eyes or cameras! I live in Town Hill as you all know,” she wrote.

The accident occurred around 4:25 a.m. A neighbor said she heard the crash and saw the taillights of the other vehicle in White’s driveway. Their home is across from the Indian Point Road where it connects with Route 102. There is a stop sign at the end of Indian Point Road and White said that cars often fail to stop. Her home, she said, has been hit by vehicles before.

This time it was her Subaru, and, this time, the offending vehicle left immediately.

“If you are on the main drag in Town Hill to Southwest or anywhere around me and by chance have a camera please check it,” she asked, hoping that someone might have images of the vehicle.

She has contacted the Bar Harbor/Mount Desert Police Department and they have made a report. She has previously contacted government agencies about the intersection.

She described the offending vehicle as “a tallish square style looking (think like an older Toyota) old style (black/ dark color, matte spray can paint job) SUV and it looked like it had a bar of some sort on the front.”

White wrote that this isn’t the first time that they’ve had vehicles hit things on their property and she has contacted the town about it before.
