The Natchez Trace Parkway Rangers are asking for the public’s help in locating and identifying a driver involved in a Hit-and-Run collision.

On Saturday, July 29, 2023, an unknown driver struck a motorcyclist at the Thomastown intersection of the Natchez Trace Parkway causing catastrophic injuries. The driver fled the scene without stopping to report or render aid to the motorcyclist. Debris found at the scene identifies the suspect vehicle as a possible 2011 or 2012 black Dodge Charger. The vehicle left behind a front bumper and grill. The last known direction of the vehicle was west on HWY 429 towards Thomastown.

If anyone has any information about this incident or the vehicle or vehicle driver, please contact the Natchez Trace Parkway at 1-800-300-PARK.
