It happened two weeks ago in North Whitehall Township.
On Tuesday, police said they now have an eyewitness and video from a nearby business.
Those two things have given police a lot to work with in finding the person who hit 42 year old Jennifer Dietrich and just kept going.
"It's horrible just the worst thing to see your child just lay there and not being able to help them, said Delores Miller, Dietrich's mother.
Delores Miller has spent the last two weeks watching her daughter, Jennifer Dietrich, writhe in pain. Deitrich was run over as she crossed Route 873 in North Whitehall Township, Lehigh County after getting off work. The driver who hit Dietrich didn't stop.
"It's a retired Erlich vehicle, Erlich auctions them off now," said State Trooper Mar Allen.
A witness said the suspect vehicle is a blue Ford Ranger possibly with yellow or orange stripes with an Erlich logo on a side panel, police said.
Erlich officials said they routinely sell their high mileage vehicles at auction.
Allen said video surveillance is also being used to catch the hit and run driver.
"We basically know that that vehicle probably wasn't usable or we are looking for that person who called out from work or is using a different work truck," Allen said.
MIller says her daughter has had nearly a dozen surgeries and remains on a breathing tube. Dietrich will need extensive rehabilitation, her mother said.
The only way she can communicate is with a squeeze of the hand or a nod of the head. Miller said she is worried that Dietrich, who has no insurance might not walk again. She urged the driver to turn themselves in.
Come forward, do the right thing. I don't know how you can live with yourself, Miller said.
Anyone with information is asked to call state police at 610-861-2026. Allen said there could be a reward.
