Santa Rosa police are seeking witnesses to a hit-and-run Saturday that left an 84-year-old woman seriously injured.

The incident took place around 8:30 p.m. in the area of 1550 Pacific Ave., near the First Presbyterian Church.

The woman was reportedly struck by a white sedan driven by a woman in her 50s or 60s who immediately fled the scene, Sgt. Summer Black said.

The car was described as a late 1990s or early 2000s model sedan similar to a Toyota Corolla, possibly with four doors, Black said.

The victim was taken to a local hospital where she remained in serious condition with injuries to her spine, plus head trauma and multiple lacerations, police said.
