The Latest Local News from the Rome News



Rome police are seeking assistance in a hit and run incident on Hwy. 411 on Wednesday night that has left a man in critical condition.


According to the Rome Police Department:


On March 25, 2015, at approximately 11:55 p.m., the City of Rome Police Department received a 911 dispatch call from a passerby who observed a 56-year-old male lying on the side of Hwy 411 near Callier Springs Road, between Walmart and Tractor Supply.


The man was lying next to a bicycle. This man was seriously injured after being struck by a vehicle, apparently while riding his bicycle. The vehicle continued on, leaving the injured man on the side of the road, without reporting the accident or the man’s injured state.


The Rome Police Department Selective Enforcement Unit is actively investigating this hit and run incident and is seeking any information from the public regarding the incident or any suspect/s and/or suspect vehicle.


The man suffered serious and life threatening injuries and is currently in critical condition. Information obtained at the scene leads us to believe that the vehicle that struck the bicyclist sustained damage to the right front corner area, and may have blue paint transfer on it from the bicycle.


If anyone knows anything about this incident please contact Sgt. Joe Costolnick at 706-238-5138, or any investigator or police officer immediately. Anonymous information is welcome and can also be left at this number, as well as 706-238-5111. Thank you for your assistance in this investigation.
