ROCK ISLAND, Ill. (KWQC) - Rock Island police have identified the driver that they say took out a light pole in a hit-and-run over the weekend.<\/p>\n
Police say at 3:00 a.m. on Saturday, officers responded to the base of the Stanley Talbot Memorial Bridge for a hit-and-run crash. The crash damaged a light pole and camera equipment worth nearly $20,000. <\/p>\n
Early Wednesday morning, police announced they had identified the driver and the driver had turned himself into the police. <\/p>\n
Police had described the suspect vehicle as a \"reddish colored SUV, possibly a 2000's style Jeep Cherokee.\" It has over-sized tires and a roof rack that appears to contain a spare tire.<\/p>\n
Police say after striking the light pole, the driver then sped across the bridge and was last seen heading into Davenport. <\/p>\n
Based on footage captured by cameras in Davenport, it appears the suspect vehicle suffered damage to the front hood, and possibly the windshield and roof. <\/p>\n
Police shared this photo on Facebook, saying while it does not appear the suspect vehicle has a front bumper winch like the vehicle shown below, the suspect vehicle should look similar.<\/p>\n
