Investigators are appealing to the public for help in the wake of a fatal hit-and-run incident that occurred nearly two months ago on Interstate 10 in Tucson. The Arizona Department of Public Safety is intensifying its search for information that could lead to the apprehension of a driver who left the scene after striking and fatally injuring a pedestrian, who was on the shoulder of the highway, as reported by the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
The collision, which claimed the life of an unidentified female pedestrian, happened on Saturday, July 6, at around 10:08 p.m. near Congress Street, as detailed by the Arizona Department of Public Safety. Walking on the right shoulder, the woman was hit by a vehicle that failed to stop after the collision. Later at a hospital, the injuries sustained proved fatal for the victim.
Now, as the hunt for the suspect continues, the Arizona DPS has released details regarding the suspect's vehicle. It has been described as a Ford Expedition SUV, ranging from the 1997 to 1999 model years, showcasing the Eddie Bauer trim package. However, the exact color of the SUV remains unknown, leaving a critical gap in the vehicle’s description. According to a press release, the department urges anyone with information to step forward.
Authorities have established a hotline and an online tip submission form to encourage leads. Members of the public holding any information are asked to call 1-877-4AZ-TIPS or submit their tips online through the AZDPS website.
