Authorities in Neosho County are looking for the driver of a pickup truck involved in a Friday night hit-and-run accident on a county road.

The accident happened on 160th Road southeast of Chanute, about 7 miles from US-169. Neosho County Sheriff’s Deputy 35-year-old Cierra Riggs of Galesburg was in her patrol truck, parked on the eastbound shoulder of 160th Road when an unknown pickup approached. The driver went left-of-center and struck the Deputy’s patrol truck head-on. The vehicle then fled the scene, traveling westbound toward US-169. Deputy Riggs was taken to Neosho Regional Medical Center with minor injuries. She has since returned to duty.

Anyone with information about the other vehicle or driver is asked to contact the Neosho County Sheriff’s Office at 620-244-3888.
