The Council Bluffs Police Department is asking for the public’s help in locating a suspect in a hit and run accident in which two pedestrians were injured. The incident took place just after 3-p.m. Thursday, at 25th and Ave G.

Bluffs Police Sgt. Jason Bailey said 37-year old Sherry Dmyterko-Tramp, of Council Bluffs, and a 5 year old boy were crossing 25th street eastbound. The suspected hit and run vehicle was westbound on Ave G turning south onto 25th street. When the victim realized the vehicle was not going to yield to them, she grabbed the child and turned away from the vehicle. The vehicle struck the victim’s right leg causing visible swelling and bruising. She was treated at Jennie Edmundson hospital and released. The child suffered a minor injury to his knee.

The driver of the vehicle drove a short distance, exited his vehicle, appeared to check for damage and then left the scene without checking on the welfare of the woman and child. The vehicle was described as being a gold or tan colored newer Chevy Colorado, mid-sized pickup. The driver was a white male, possibly in his 20’s. He may have a dragon tattoo on one or both arms.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Council Bluffs Police Traffic Unit at 712-328-4948.
