The Hennepin County Sheriff s Office is asking for the public s help in finding the person responsible for a hit-and-run on Lake Minnetonka in January.
According to the sheriff s office, a couple was fishing on Wayzata Bay on Jan. 29 in a portable fishing tent. At about 5:58 p.m., the man left the tent to check a tip-up. While he was out, a snowmobile crashed into the tent, badly injuring the woman inside.
The snowmobile and another one that was traveling with the suspect fled the scene, exiting on Lower Lake.
The sheriff s office said the sled was likely damaged in the crash.
