COLUMBUS – Police are looking for the hit-skip driver who killed a 21-year-old woman on the Southeast Side early Monday morning.
Amy Stewart was crossing Brice Road north of Tussing Road at about 5:43 a.m. when a silver van or SUV struck her and left the scene, driving southbound on Brice Road, said Det. Connie Brant of the Columbus Police Accident Investigation Unit.
Brant says the driver stopped near the intersection of Brice and Tussing Roads and examined his vehicle before getting back in the vehicle and driving away.
Stewart was pronounced dead at the scene.
Brant says police are hoping to find the suspect vehicle, which should have sustained front end damage.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Columbus Division of Police Accident Investigation Unit at 614-645-0217.
