Driver Sought for Felony Hit and Run in Stagecoach Run Incident

Jackson County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) is looking for information about a felony hit and run that occurred October 15 during the Stagecoach Run in Central Point. A 2002 Saturn S-Series sedan struck a marathon runner with their passenger side mirror on the 2800 block of Hanley Road at around 9:50 a.m.

A witness described the vehicle as a silver grey Saturn sedan and the driver as a white male adult with dark hair and a scruffy beard. The runner was struck from behind by the passenger side mirror causing him to be thrown in the ditch and leaving the mirror behind. The runner suffered minor injuries and could not provide a description of the vehicle.

Upon further investigation JCSO deputies identified the side mirror as coming from a 2002 Saturn S-Series (see stock photo).

The driver is wanted in connection with a felony hit and run. If you have any information about the vehicle or suspect call the JCSO Tip Line at (541) 774-8333 and reference case number 22-6042.

Note: An earlier version of the original JCSO press release incorrectly stated the run as the Rogue Marathon. We have corrected the article with the latest information from authorities.
