Hit Run driver kills man near 40th & Oak, Phoenix

8/17/2024 ~ 1:45a. Hit/Run near 40th & Oak, Phoenix. No description of the vehicle. One news outlet said the victim was a bicyclist; the others, e.g. azcentral, just said a male pedestrian was found injured in the roadway.

Fun fact;  In March of last year, 40th and Oak was also the scene of a serious injury collision where, police say, 21-year-old Marlon De Jesus Hernandez ran the red light, crashing into a marked Phoenix Police vehicle, seriously injuring the officer inside. abc15

In other news current news, a few hours earlier 8/16/2024 ~9:30p “police responded to a crash near 67th Avenue and Indian School Road. When officers arrived, they found a woman, later identified as 47-year-old Latisha Sterling, lying on the road with injuries” and later died, she was reported to have been “outside of the designated crosswalk area”, which I assume by designated they mean “marked”. This would be unsurprising since marked crosswalks are few and far between. There are loads of unmarked crosswalks, for what it’s worth.
