At approximately 2:30am Sunday morning the New Bedford Police Department responded to a reported hit and run accident on the 1700 block of Acushnet Avenue. Upon arrival, police found a black Jeep that had slammed into the church adjacent to Abracadabra Flower & Gift Service shop.
Preliminary investigation suggests that a black Honda was traveling southbound on Acushnet Avenue when it struck a parked vehicle. After the collision, the Jeep was forced into the building and the driver of the unknown vehicle then fled the scene heading towards Route 18.
