SANTA CLARA,Calif. -- Police are asking for the public's help in finding the driver involved in a hit-and-run crash in Santa Clara earlier this month that sent a man to the hospital with major injuries.

Around 10:30 p.m. on Oct. 6, a man walking on Maryann Drive at Benton Street in Santa Clara was struck by a car that fled the scene, according to police.
