Where is the LeboALERT? Nothing on Facebook, Twitter, Lebomag.com... Why was this reported yesterday by the Post Gazette when it happened Saturday night? Can a Lebo Citizens reader locate the driver, just as the missing woman was found a couple of years ago through a joint effort on this blog?

Mt. Lebanon police seek driver involved in pedestrian hit and run
Mt. Lebanon police are searching for the driver of a small, red Jeep SUV that struck and severely injured a woman crossing Washington Road, then left the scene of the accident on Saturday night.
The driver, described as medium-complected white or Indian man about 5'8" tall with short dark hair and a medium build, initially stopped after striking the woman, who was crossing Washington Road at Cedar Boulevard at about 10:20 p.m., according to deputy chief Aaron Lauth. The man approached the woman, who was thrown 60 feet by the impact and was lying prone in the street, but as a crowd began to gather returned to his car and continued driving north toward Dormont and Downtown Pittsburgh, Mr. Lauth said.
The 28-year-old victim's femurs, or thigh bones, were broken, and she suffered head injuries including a concussion and a contusion that required several staples to close, according to Mr. Lauth. The woman was taken to UPMC-Mercy hospital, where she was treated and released, he said.
Police said there could be damage to the vehicle on the front passenger's side or the hood. Officers continue to investigate the accident and are seeking video surveillance footage from several cameras in the area, and plan to release that footage to the public if possible.

This intersection has a list of short- and long-term mitigation recommendations from the 2012 study of safety upgrades needed in Mt Lebanon. I believe a citizen spoke about this at the July Commission meeting. But did they actually DO ANYTHING?
