TARRYTOWN, N.Y. The driver of a car that flipped over and caught fire June 1 fled the scene of the accident at Benedict Avenue and Midland Avenue in Tarrytown, police said.
Police are looking for the driver. A 911 call was placed after a burning car was discovered upside down at about 11 p.m. Firefighters and police responded, putting out the fire and finding an ID that possibly belonged to the driver.
