Driver Leaves 80-Year-Old Woman For Dead

Woman critically injured in hit-and-run accident

Fairfax County police are searching for the driver who hit an 80-year-old woman Sunday night, then left her for dead.

The woman was hit just after 8 p.m. inside a crosswalk at Silver Lake Boulevard and Interparcel Road, about a mile from the Springfield Mall.

It happened right outside the retirement community where the woman lived, police said.  Friends think she was coming home from a drug store directly across the street.

Neighbors say they've spent years asking the county to install street lights.  They say drivers constantly speed through the area.

As of Monday night, the victim, who has not been identified, remained in critical condition.

Anyone with information should call Fairfax County Police.
