STAUNTON (WINA) – State Police are looking for anyone who can help them find a vehicle that fled a fatal hit-and-run pedestrian crash Wednesday night just west of Staunton. A trooper responded just before 10pm to a crash on Parkersburg Turnpike and Pine Tree Lane in Augusta County.  A 42-year old pedestrian was struck by an eastbound vehicle on Parkersburg and died at the scene.

The vehicle — which at this point could be a maroon or red truck or SUV — kept going. It may have damage to its right-front headline, right turn signal, or both.

Anyone with information about the suspect vehicle and/or its driver is encouraged to call the Virginia State Police at 434-352-7128 or #77 on a cell phone or by email at questions@vsp.virginia.gov.
