Oak Bluffs police are searching for the driver of a vehicle involved in a hit and run accident Wednesday night on County Road near Trade Winds Airfield.
According to a press release from the police department, a 28-year-old woman got off a school bus on County Road near the Trade Winds Airfield at about 9:46 p.m. Wednesday.
