GOLDEN TOWNSHIP — The Oceana County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a vehicle hit-and-run in which a driver allegedly struck a DNR Silver Lake State Park worker with his vehicle and fled the scene in the parking lot of the state park’s pedestrian area of the dunes Sunday, July 14, around 4:45 p.m., according to Oceana County Sheriff Craig Mast.
There were no injuries reported.
The driver, who was described as a white man in his 20s or 30s, was driving a dark metallic green Honda passenger car believed to be from the 2010s with a Michigan license plate, said Sheriff Mast. An elderly white woman was a passenger in the vehicle.
The state park employee saw that there was an open case of Budweiser beer in the car and asked the driver to pull forward. The driver said, “F— that, I’m getting out of here.” He struck the employee in the leg with the car’s rear bumper while backing up and then fled the scene, said Mast.
