PHOENIX — Two pedestrians were taken to the hospital after a hit-and-run crash on I-17 in north Phoenix late Friday night.

Arizona Department of Public Safety officials say it happened just before 11:30 p.m. on the interstate near Dunlap Avenue.

When troopers arrived, they found two people had been hit, and the vehicle or vehicles involved in the crash had taken off.

One of the pedestrians involved in the crash was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

The second person was also taken to the hospital. Their injuries are considered serious, but not life-threatening.

Officials say they are searching for the driver of a 2019 or newer gray Chevrolet Blazer SUV, who may have "initially stopped off right, but left the scene before troopers arrived".

Anyone with information is asked to contact DPS at 1-877-4AZ-TIPS or submit a tip online.

The crash remains under investigation.
