Dallas police are searching for a driver involved in a fatal hit-and-run with a pedestrian in far northeast Dallas early Saturday.
About 12:07 a.m. Saturday, a man was walking on the sidewalk in the 9900 block of Forest Lane, near Audelia Road, police said.
The man, who police did not identify, was on his phone and stepped off the sidewalk and into the road when a sedan traveling at a “very high rate of speed” struck him, throwing him into a nearby brick wall, police said.
The driver left the scene without helping the pedestrian and the pedestrian died from his injuries, police said.
Police described the vehicle as a black 2008-2012 model Honda Accord that will have “extreme damage” to the passenger side, including a missing mirror and damage to the front right headlights.
Police also said there is damage to the windshield and body of the car, and the car may have a custom racing exhaust or other customizations that produce loud engine noise.
Those with information that could help identify the vehicle and its driver may contact Det. K. Land with the Vehicle Crimes Unit at (214) 671-0014 or kyle.land@dallaspolice.gov with case No. 200499-2022.
Police said any information provided will be kept confidential.
