Lyerly man Dalton Thompson was involved in a minor collision in Summerville with an elderly woman Sunday who fled the scene, according to reports from the city police department.

Thompson called the city police for insurance purposes after the fender-bender, telling the responding officer that he was traveling southbound on Commerce Street and approaching the intersection with Kelly St. when the vehicle in front of him suddenly braked hard.

After an unavoidable bump with the vehicle, Thompson continued, the elderly female driver told him she wasn’t hurt and then proceeded to drive off (reports do not specifically state whether she ever exited the vehicle).

Thompson left unharmed, but the accident dealt his 1997 Ford Ranger damage to the front end and a fresh oil leak. His pickup was towed by Luallen’s.
