Tragedy struck on the eastbound lanes of I-30 at Buckner Blvd as Dallas County Traffic Deputies were called to a grim scene: a pedestrian struck in a hit and run. The incident, causing a significant shutdown of the highway, has initiated a manhunt for a grey or silver 2017-2020 Honda Accord, noted for expected front-end damage after the fatal collision. The Dallas County Sheriff's Department, detailing the accident on their Facebook page, urged anyone with information to come forward as the search for the suspect continues.

Following the crash, the stretch of eastbound I-30 was completely closed at Jim Miller, disrupting traffic and compelling commuters to seek alternative routes. With the tragedy occurring, the department has been working tirelessly to piece together the events of that fatal moment, reaching out to witnesses and scrutinizing available traffic footage to track down the driver who fled the scene after hitting the pedestrian. As of yet, details about the victim or the circumstances leading to the accident have not been officially disclosed to the public. The specific section of the highway, known for its bustling activity, has seen its share of accidents, but few reach the magnitude of this incident.

Authorities are currently processing the scene and have called for any witnesses or individuals with potentially relevant dash-cam footage to assist in their investigation. The accident has not only taken a life but has also raised questions about traffic safety and driver responsibility on Dallas's congested roads.
