Authorities are searching for the driver of a vehicle who hit and injured two women in Tuscaloosa over the weekend.

The women were walking across Culver Road about 1:47 a.m. Saturday when police say the speeding driver hit them and then continued without stopping.

The women had been at a night club and were crossing to the parking area, said Tuscaloosa police spokeswoman Stephanie Taylor. A bystander performed CPR on one of the victims before both were taken by ambulance to DCH Regional Medical Center.
