Talk about it

WORTHINGTON — Jose Andres Lopez-Rivera, 26, is wanted for questioning regarding a hit-and-run crash that occurred around 5:48 p.m. Sept. 21 near the Clary Street and Humiston Avenue intersection, Worthington Police Officer Mark Riley said Wednesday.

While exact physical description details are not known, Riley estimates Lopez-Rivera to be about 5’4” tall and weigh approximately 140 lbs.

Riley said Lopez-Rivera’s last known address was at 1408 Murray Ave., Worthington.

“(Lopez-Rivera) is the owner of a car that hit another car and caused injuries, and the driver fled the scene,” Riley said. “We’re not sure if he was the driver or not. He got a ticket in June driving that vehicle, so we’re thinking he was the driver but we need to talk to him to (know for sure).”

No other information is known at this time. Anyone with information regarding Lopez-Rivera may contact the police department at 295-5400.
