LIVERMORE FALLS – Police are investigating a hit-and-run accident that left a man injured and lying in the road at the intersection of upper Depot Street and Jones Road early Saturday, Chief Ernest Steward Jr. said.

Police are looking for anyone who may have seen something late Friday or early Saturday that could help with the investigation.

A resident of Depot Street called police after someone knocked on his door at 12:22 a.m. Saturday and asked him to call an ambulance.

The person could see an individual lying in the road at the intersection, Steward said.

A NorthStar ambulance and police officers Ken Bryant and Robert Samson responded to the scene with police arriving ahead of the ambulance

Bryant, the lead investigator, determined the male was apparently struck by a vehicle while he was walking back to his home on Jones Road, Steward said.

Patrick Daniels, 25, wearing dark pants and a dark jacket, had walked to a store to buy cigarettes and was walking with the traffic on his way back when he was struck, Steward said.

Daniels complained of ankle pain and appeared to have a badly injured leg, the chief said.

The woman who knocked on the Depot Street resident’s door had gone out looking for Daniels when he didn’t return from the store, Steward said.

Police canvassed the area to see if anyone had noticed anything and to see if there were any vehicles with front-end damage that could have been involved, he said, but nobody knew anything.

Daniels was taken by ambulance to Franklin Memorial Hospital in Farmington where he was evaluated.
