High Point police looking for black SUV suspected in hit-and-run
HIGH POINT, N.C. (WGHP) — A man out for a walk with his dog was hit by a car, and the driver is nowhere to be found.
High Point police need your help finding the person responsible.
Chuck Sova was walking his goldendoodle, Beau, when High Point police say a car hit him when trying to make a right turn onto Rolling Road and knocked him on the ground.
A police report notes that before taking off, the driver reversed before driving off on Oakview Road.
Sova was left with serious injuries. He was taken to the hospital, but his dog Beau is OK.
High Point police released a photo of what is believed to be the suspect vehicle. Police said it is an early 2000s Black GMC SUV, possibly with damage on the front.
If this weren't enough, it's the second scary incident for Sova and Beau when on a walk.
Six months ago, FOX8 spoke with Sova after Beau was attacked by another dog on a walk.
Sova's significant other said Sova has a long road to recovery ahead.
He has a fractured kneecap and is scheduled to have surgery for his injuries next week

Beau the Doberman has burn wounds but she's OK; teen who helped save dog from arson fire meets grateful owner
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — The story on Donna Avenue, in central Bakersfield, is this: a house mostly intact, a family alive and grateful, a frightened dog reassured, and a Bakersfield Driller hailed as a hero. It was Monday night, around 10:30 p.m., when a series of fires broke out in the alley behind David Stewart's house on Donna Avenue. The family safely scrambled out the front door, but Stewart went back inside to grab some things. That's when he looked out the window at the orange hellscape in his backyard and came to the only conclusion possible – his young Doberman, Beau, was dead. Nothing could have survived that inferno. 'I'm thinking, 'our dog's dead…why? They burned down the house, they saw the dog, they still lit the fire, our dog's dead,'' Stewart said. 'I don't understand it.' What he didn't know at the time was that three men had come to the rescue. One of them, Demien Garcia – a Bakersfield High School senior – who had sprinted two blocks to see what he could do to help. He found Beau trapped under debris, the fire mere feet away. Garcia kicked down the backyard fence and started trying to free the dog. 'It was pretty hard,' he said. 'I was playing tug of war with the chain. So, the fire was getting really close, the electrical pole was on fire. I knew I was on a time stamp.' About that time, two freelance photo journalists, Jacob Davidson and Eric Isbell, came tearing down the alley to gather news video. When they saw Garcia frantically doing – something – they abandoned their camera and pitched in. The three of them managed to cut the dog's collar off and free her from the chain lead, which had become pinned under debris. Beau is alright now, but Monday night she was in a lot of trouble and the scars are still evident on her backside. All's well that ends well – although Bakersfield Fire investigators are still looking into what appears to be arson. Davidson said he showed them video he took of a man on a bicycle, dressed in all black, who seemed out of place and in a hurry. Here's that man righting a knocked-over garage bin as a fire captain drives past. Meanwhile, 26-year-old David Stewart and 18-year-old Demien Garcia have restored each other's faith in the world. Stewart said, 'He saved a family member.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
