Two SUVs Strike Man At Crosswalk, Driver Leaves Scene Twice
A 60-year-old Pontiac man was killed Sunday night after being struck twice by SUVs in a double hit-and-run. Police are searching for both drivers.
Oakland County Deputies Confirm Fatal Crash
Late Sunday night, Oakland County deputies say a 60-year-old man from Pontiac was crossing Featherstone at the crosswalk when an SUV slammed into him. Security video released by officials shows the driver pulling off to the side of the road.
However, investigators say the driver did not report the crash.
Second Vehicle Also Strikes Victim
Then a second SUV hit the man and continued driving east on Featherstone. Neither driver stopped to help the victim. When police arrived, he was dead at the scene.
Police Describe Vehicle With Uncommon Features
Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said one of the vehicles had an uncommon front end with the turn signal mounted under the headlights. The suspected vehicle is a smaller SUV, dark blue in color, and could have possible damage near the passenger side headlights. The vehicle maker has not been identified as of Thursday evening.
Man Found In Middle Of Cameron Avenue
The man's body was found in the middle of Cameron Avenue just north of Featherstone. A blood-stained drag mark is visible on the street.
Authorities Request Public Help
It is hard to fathom that a person would strike another human being with a car and drive off, leaving them to die, said Sheriff Bouchard. We would greatly appreciate the public's help with any information that could identify the individual(s) involved. A reward is possible if it leads to the arrest and conviction of an individual.
Investigation Ongoing
An investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 248-858-4950 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP.
