Detroit — Police are looking for a hit-and-run driver they say caused a crash on the city's east side Wednesday before fleeing the scene, leaving his two daughters, and infant and a toddler, in the car.
The incident happened about 2:45 p.m. Wednesday, when the man, whose name is not being released by police, crossed over the median at Chandler Park and Chalmers, striking another car, Detroit Police Officer Dan Donakowski said.
"He didn't stop at the accident scene, but after he fled, his tire blew out and he finally came to a stop in the 5000 block of Phillips," Donakowski said. "Then he got out of the car and took off on foot, leaving his two daughters behind."
One of the children was 2 months old; the other was 2 years old, Donakowski said.
The children were taken into custody while police looked for their father, Donakowski said.
No injuries were reported.
