Alright Jalopnik gumshoes, the police again need your help. This time it's identifying a car involved in a hit-and-run accident in Indiana earlier this week. The last time we did this you were "critical" in helping I.D. a murder suspect, so let's keep it up. UPDATE: The driver turned herself in.

UPDATE: The Indiana State Police contacted Jalopnik to let us know that the driver of the vehicle turned herself in overnight (before we posted the image). Thanks for the great work, we'll let you know if the vehicle I.D. you all came up with so quickly was correct.
