Abbeville, LA (KPEL News) -  Abbeville, Louisiana, Police are searching for the identity of the victim of a hit and run and the driver accused of not one, but two hit and run incidents.

On Halloween morning, they responded to a call about a man that was hit by a vehicle in the area near Tractor Supply and Discount Tire on Veterans Memorial Drive. Officers provided assistance to the victim until Acadiana Ambulance arrived. The man was so seriously injured that he was transported by Air Med to a local trauma center.

Witnesses told police that the vehicle involved was a small white SUV with a damaged windshield and damage to the front of the vehicle. They say the driver had fled on Hwy 14 towards Iberia Parish.

As they were investigating that incident, they found out about another hit and run that may be related. Just minutes before the SUV hit the pedestrian, a similar vehicle hit a Chevy Silverado near the intersection of Jacquelyn and South Airport Road and fled that scene. The two locations are about a mile and a half apart.
