HERNANDO, Miss. — A Hernando couple could be out of thousands of dollars after someone crashed into both of their vehicles and their garage over the weekend and took off running.

That couple is now calling on the community to help them find the driver.

The Garrity family said shock was their initial reaction after they were awakened by the sound of their property being hit over the weekend.

They said it’s a situation you just can’t make up.

The moment you see the dark-colored SUV hit their vehicle is about the same time their dog began to alert them.

“Our dog woke us up because we heard the big boom, but right after the big boom, we could hear thunder and lightning in the distance,” Mike Garrity said.

Garrity said it wasn’t until he went to work at 3 a.m. that he realized something was terribly wrong.

“It was a shock, he woke me up when he came back in and he said I know what the crash was we heard earlier,” Bobbye Garrity said.

The vehicle, believed to be a Chevy Equinox or something similar, was seen driving away moments after the collision.

By the time the couple got outside to assess the damage, the SUV was gone and their truck and Jeep were damaged, their garbage can was crushed and their garage was totaled.

There was even damage inside the home, with the crash pushing the couple’s boat into a wall.

“The water wings touch that wall, it wasn’t touching the wall that far, it jammed everything back,” Mike Garrity said.

The family said that while this has been a lot to process, their community has been there to support them as they look for answers.

“We’ve got neighbors right behind us that came over the very next day or the same day actually and we were all playing super sleuth, driving around looking for the car, walking down the street picking up the parts that had fallen off of their car and stuff like that, trying to find the matches,” Mike Garrity said. “That’s how we ended up finding what kind of vehicle it was because one of the part numbers was lying on a piece that was in our driveway.”

“And the bigger pieces, the police took [them] with them once they came and took the report,” Bobbye Garrity said.

The Garrity family said what’s troubling about this situation is where the driver came from.

According to their surveillance video, on camera, you can see the driver come from further into the Baileigh Meadows neighborhood.

The couple said that someone in the area, whether it be the neighborhood or Hernando, must know something.

“I understand if they were at a party and they don’t want to get caught, but now we are on the hook for everything and that’s just not right,” Mike Garrity said.

The family said that due to it being a holiday, they will have to wait to get estimates on the damage.

To add insult to injury, they said they just moved into the neighborhood months before the hit-and-run.

And as the couple looks for answers, they leave this message to whoever is responsible.

“We’re not looking to hang anybody or anything like that,” Mike Garrity said. “But we do want somebody to be responsible.”
