Multiple Police Investigate Fatal Hit-and-Runs in Texas, Indiana

Police departments in multiple U.S. cities are investigating separate fatal hit-and-run incidents involving pedestrians and bicyclists. In San Marcos, Texas, authorities are searching for the driver of an early 2000s white Ford pickup truck with a custom-painted rose mirror cap after a man was killed in a two-vehicle incident; one driver fled while the other remained at the scene and is cooperating. Amarillo police are seeking a dark-colored SUV that struck and killed a 73-year-old pedestrian on Amarillo Boulevard, with the suspect vehicle leaving without providing aid. Meanwhile, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, a male bicyclist was fatally struck near S. Lafayette Street and Williams Street, with the driver fleeing the scene and police appealing for public assistance to identify the suspect. All three investigations are ongoing, and authorities in each city are urging anyone with information to contact local law enforcement or Crime Stoppers. The incidents highlight a concerning trend of fatal hit-and-run crashes and the challenges police face in identifying drivers who leave the scene.
