Massachusetts Police Probe ‘Pay-and-Run’ Accident

November 7, 2012

Salem, Mass., police are investigating after a bizarre fender-bender in the city.

Police say a woman told them she was driving on Hancock Street on Saturday night when a red pickup truck backing out of a side street struck the rear quarter panel of her vehicle, causing minor damage.

Police tell The Salem News when she pulled over, a man wearing a red hooded sweat shirt came up to her passenger-side window, threw $500 in cash inside and walked away without saying a word.

Police looked for the pickup but could not find it.

On Sunday, the woman called police again to tell them she had located the truck parked just around the corner from where the accident occurred.

Officers obtained the license plate number and are investigating.
