A traffic agent was seriously injured on East Gun Hill Road by a driver that did not stop, the Norwood News has learned. 

Police cordoned off the busy stretch by East Gun Hill Road and Putnam Place shortly after noon, and reopened it an hour later.

The victim suffered broken bones, according to a police source. The driver involved in the hit-and-run incident has not been found yet. The victim was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center and was listed in critical condition.

The Norwood News will have more information as it comes.
