A reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of the driver who left the scene of a crash early Monday morning on North Main Street that left a dad with severe injuries.

A 36-year-old man was found lying in the road on North Main St, in the area of Burger King around 5:55 a.m. Rochester Police said they are looking for a dark colored SUV that struck the man as he jogged while wearing a headlamp and rear strobe lights. The SUV struck the man as he pulled out of McDuffee Street, according to police.

A GoFundMe page identifies the man as Mat Lefebvre, a married father of three young boys named Graham, Benjamin and Henry who suffered nine broken ribs, a broken sternum, a severe break in his right shoulder blade and a shattered C6 vertebrae that will require surgery.
