Woman hospitalized after hit and run in Warren Thursday

WARREN — A woman who formerly lived at the Warren Family Mission on Elm Road was struck by a car on North Park Avenue on Thursday evening in an unsolved hit and run.

Irene N. Comanescu, 47, was in the intensive care unit at Forum Health Trumbull Memorial Hospital on Friday. The hospital would not give out her condition.

Police said she was apparently walking north on North Park Avenue about 5:15 p.m. just south of Atlantic Street in the curb lane when she was struck by a vehicle, which then moved to another northbound lane and continued on.

There were no witnesses at the scene when police arrived, and police have no description of the vehicle.

A Melwood Drive motorist called 911 after seeing the woman lying in the road after the accident.

A pastor who answered the telephone at the Warren Family Mission said Comanescu was not currently living at the mission but had lived there in the past.
