A woman who was hit by a vehicle earlier this week in Dayton was in stable condition as of Friday.

Dayton police initially reported the woman was in critical condition with suspected serious injuries. As of Friday afternoon, she improved to stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries.

Around 9:11 p.m. Monday, an unknown vehicle hit the 25-year-old woman near the intersection of North Euclid and West Riverview avenues. It was not clear why the woman was in the road, according to a crash report filed by Dayton police.

The driver left the scene without stopping or leaving their information.

A 911 caller told Montgomery County Regional Dispatch the woman was breathing but starting to pass out.

“Her back is open and I think she broke both of her legs,” the caller said, according to dispatch records.

The caller was not able to describe the vehicle that hit the woman.

Crews transported the woman to Miami Valley Hospital with suspected serious injuries, according to the crash report.

No one is in custody at this time. A suspect vehicle was towed from an Englewood hotel parking lot, police said Thursday.
