The Warsaw Police Department is investigating a hit-and-run that resulted in an injury in the 100 block of North Parker Street, at East Center Street, at 3:15 p.m. on Friday, October 9, 2026. InkFreeNews published the police-log entry[1] on October 10 and is the only source identified in the available reporting.
The log describes a “hit-and-run accident resulting in injury.” It does not identify the injured person, describe the injury or vehicles, or identify the driver who left. No arrest has been reported, and the investigation remains ongoing.
What accident victims should do next
If you are hurt in a hit-and-run, get medical care and report the crash to police as soon as possible. Many insurance policies require prompt reporting. The firm’s guide to what to do after a hit-and-run explains the early steps in more detail.
Write down what you remember about the other vehicle, including its color, make, partial plate, and direction of travel. Ask nearby businesses whether they have camera footage because video may be overwritten within days. Guidance on preserving traffic and business video may help you understand why quick action matters.
Keep the police report number, medical records, and photographs of your injuries and vehicle. You can also review how to obtain an Indiana crash report after it becomes available.
Why location matters in Indiana injury claims
This hit-and-run happened in downtown Warsaw, in Kosciusko County, and the Warsaw Police Department is investigating. If the driver is identified, a civil case would ordinarily be filed in Kosciusko County or where that driver lives.
Check your own auto policy. Uninsured motorist coverage is often the main source of recovery when the driver who left is never found. Ind. Code 27-7-5-2 governs uninsured motorist coverage, but the terms of your policy control how a hit-and-run claim works. A hit-and-run accident lawyer can review the notice requirements and policy language.
The general two-year deadline for injury claims appears in Ind. Code 34-11-2-4. Indiana’s modified comparative fault rule, Ind. Code 34-51-2-6, generally bars recovery when an injured person’s fault is greater than 50 percent. Otherwise, recovery is reduced by that person’s percentage of fault.
