Police are actively searching for the driver of a car that hit a pregnant woman and fled the scene early Monday morning.
According to Captain David Lapatin, the victim is Caren Baker of Providence.
There has been an alarming number of crashes involving pedestrians in the last few weeks; including in Providence, Dartmouth, Taunton, and West Greenwich.
The woman, whom the police did not name, was walking in a designated crosswalk area around 9:50 p.m., when a driver traveling east on Front Street struck her with the car and then continued driving.
Eyewitnesses are calling on the suspect of a hit and run to turn himself in, after a woman was struck and left for dead in the middle of the road.
