fatal hit-and-run – State and local authorities are searching for the driver of a black and red dump truck involved in a fatal Monday afternoon hit-and-run on I-93 in Wilmington.
The afternoon commute turned tragic Monday when a man was struck and killed on I-93, leaving investigators in search of a driver who fled the scene.
Shortly after 2 p.m., emergency responders arrived at the scene near Exit 34 on I-93 North in Wilmington. They discovered a man in the roadway who had been struck by a vehicle. Despite the arrival of authorities, the victim succumbed to his injuries at the site of the crash.
