Police Locate Driver In Teen Hit-Run

Charges Expected This Week

Police in Lower Merion Township say a woman suspected of striking a 13-year-old bicyclist with a car and leaving the scene without stopping is cooperating with the investigation.

The crash happened July 15 at the intersection of New Gulph Road and Morris Road in Bryn Mawr just after noon.

Police Superintendent Michael McGrath says when 75-year-old Suzanne Lammers, of Villanova, Pa. was confronted by investigators Tuesday, she admitted her role in the accident and said she thought she'd struck a deer.

Police say a tip led them to Lammers' garage.

Investigators have impounded her gold-colored 2002 Volvo V70 station wagon which has significant damage to the passenger side of the windshield.

McGrath says charges won't be filed until investigators finish processing the impounded car, likely Thursday.

Police said the driver and the boy were traveling in the same direction at the time of the crash. The victim was not wearing a helmet.

The boy was airlifted to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia with a head injury and was in critical condition at first, but is now recovering at home.

Fox 29 asked police why Lammers had not previously come forward considering the intense media reports about the accident. She told police she did not watch much news.

The victim and his family have been notified about the pending arrest.
