NATICK, Mass. — Natick Police have found the vehicle they believe to have been involved in a hit-and-run car crash. Police Chief James Hicks said they impounded the blue pickup truck Wednesday morning.
Police are still working to make an arrest but said they do have a person of interest. The Middlesex District Attorney and the Massachusetts State Police Crash Analysis and Reconstruction Section are also investigating.
Boston 25 News spoke to an off-duty nurse who responded to the scene Tuesday night after a woman driving the pickup truck jumped a curb and pinned a husband and wife to a fence.

“I’ve never seen anything more horrific in my life,” Karen Miscia said.
Miscia lives near the crash site on Washington Street. She said the wife’s injuries were the most critical.
“Her legs were destroyed. She was impaled with a piece of the fence and I was amazed that she was even talking and still alive,” Miscia said.
The off-duty nurse went into action, hoping to keep the 51-year-old woman alive until paramedics arrived.
“She had one good arm and I was trying to hold on to that good arm and try to keep her calm,” she said.
Police said, along with the driver, there were also two men inside the vehicle that left the scene.
“I want to talk to whoever did this to her. I really do. I wish they could’ve seen what the results were,” Miscia said.
Chief Hicks said the victims are from the area.
Neighbors said they’re stunned this would even happen in their community, and that whoever struck the couple need to be held accountable.
“They need to be held to the fullest extent. It could’ve been my kids,” said Asia Smith, who lives near where the crash occurred.
Miscia said she found the 39-year-old man’s wedding ring lying on the ground after they were taken to the hospital.
“There were cell phones, wedding band. It was unbelievable. The fence was everywhere and there were nails sticking up from every place,” Miscia said of the scene.
That man has been released from the hospital while the female victim remains hospitalized with serious injuries.
Police are asking anyone with any information to please give them a call.
