Police are seeking assistance in identifying the vehicle and driver involved. The vehicle struck Collen Brehm, who is now hospitalized. She is employed by Aramark Campus Dining Services at Wake Forest.

At 6:55 p.m., Brehm was walking across Wake Forest Road, next to Wait Chapel, from Lot P toward Lot Q.  A white SUV struck her, carrying her about 30 feet before she landed near Lot P (east side of the Chapel). Witnesses reported seeing three people in the vehicle, which did not stop after striking Brehm.
