Police Seek Two Drivers After Pontiac Crosswalk Hit-and-Run Kills 60-Year-Old
The plea for tips reflects growing alarm over deadly hit-and-runs in Pontiac.
Overview
- Deputies say a 60-year-old man crossing at a Featherstone Street crosswalk near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard was struck by an SUV.
- Investigators report the first driver pulled to the side but did not report the crash, and a second SUV then hit the man and continued east on Featherstone.
- Deputies found evidence the victim was dragged about a half mile and recovered his body on Cameron Avenue just north of Featherstone.
- The Oakland County Sheriff's Office Reconstruction Unit is leading the hit-and-run investigation and is asking for tips to identify both drivers.
- Officials say a reward is possible for information that leads to an arrest and conviction, as Pontiac contends with a pattern of fatal hit-and-runs reported last year.
