Police are looking for a hit-and-run driver who struck and injured two pedestrians in St. Paul over the weekend.

Officers responded to White Bear and Idaho avenues on the Greater East Side, near the Maplewood border, just before midnight on Saturday.

St. Paul fire medics took two pedestrians, who are both women, to Regions Hospital. One was in fair condition and the other in stable condition as of early Monday afternoon, according to the hospital.

Someone was driving a dark-colored vehicle west on Idaho Avenue when they struck the women as they crossed the street, said Sgt. Mike Ernster, a police spokesman. The vehicle left north on White Bear Avenue.

“Investigators need more witnesses to come forward and tell us what they witnessed or know about this crash,” Ernster said Monday. They also want to speak to the driver of the vehicle involved.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the investigator at 651-266-5693.
