Abbeville police searching for vehicle who hit man near Tractor Supply Store

A man is fighting for his life in a Lafayette Hospital after being struck by a vehicle on Hwy. 14, near Tractor Supply Store in Abbeville.
According to Abbeville Police Chief Mike Hardy, a male was found unconscious in the middle of Hwy. 14 Tuesday at around 7 a.m.
A Sheriff’s patrol car was first on scene, followed by the Abbeville Police Department.
The man was rushed to Abbeville General and then flown to a Lafayette Hospital, where he had to have two surgeries because of head injuries.
Chief Hardy said he still does not know the name of the man who was hit because there was no identification located on him.
Chief Hardy planned to send an officer to the Lafayette Hospital to take fingerprints of the man, who is still unconscious as of Wednesday.
The Chief said someone in a white SUV may have hit the man. That SUV may also have a broken windshield because of the impact of the man hitting it, the Chief added.
