Racine, WI (November 5, 2025) – A hit-and-run crash early Tuesday morning in Racine involved a green Ford F-150 traveling southbound on Hwy 31 near Timber Dr. The incident occurred around 5:00 a.m., near the intersection of Hwy 31 and Timber Dr, close to Maryland Ave.

According to reports, an off-duty police safety unit had been following the pickup truck moments before the suspected collision. Authorities believe the green Ford F-150 may have struck another vehicle before fleeing the area. The exact point of impact remains under investigation, as officers work to determine where along Hwy 31 the crash took place.

At this time, officials have not confirmed the extent of the injuries in the incident. However, police are urging local residents or motorists who may have witnessed the crash to come forward with information. The Racine Police Department is currently reviewing nearby surveillance footage and dashcam recordings in an effort to identify the driver involved.

Hit-and-Run Accidents in Racine

Hit-and-run collisions like this recent one in Racine are an unfortunate but common problem across Wisconsin. According to state traffic data, hundreds of hit-and-run crashes are reported every year, many resulting in serious or even fatal injuries. In these incidents, victims are often left without immediate help, which can worsen their injuries and delay critical emergency response.

A hit-and-run occurs when a driver involved in a crash fails to remain at the scene. This can happen for various reasons: panic, lack of insurance, impaired driving, or fear of legal consequences. Regardless of the reason, fleeing the scene is a violation of state law and can result in felony charges if injuries or fatalities occur.

Victims of hit-and-run accidents face unique challenges. When the responsible driver cannot be located, recovery options can seem limited. However, there are still ways to pursue compensation. In many cases, victims can file claims through their own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. A skilled personal injury attorney can help navigate the process, investigate the crash, and coordinate with law enforcement to track down the at-fault driver.

Compensation in hit-and-run cases can include payment for medical expenses, property damage, lost income, and pain and suffering. In more serious cases, victims may also pursue punitive damages to hold negligent drivers accountable.
