Pickup hits bridge then flees suspected DUI hit-and-run, Peru IL


A white pickup truck with North Carolina license plates hit a bridge near the intersection of US Route 251 and US Route 6, then fled the scene going west on 4th Street. The vehicle, possibly a Dodge Ram or Chevy Silverado, was suspected to be driven under the influence of alcohol. It was later found briefly off the road in a ditch near Shooting Park Road and Parks State School before returning to the roadway. The incident was treated as a hit-and-run and possible DUI.
