Deadly Hit-and-Run Crash Under Investigation in Missouri

Authorities are investigating what appears to be a deadly hit-and-run crash in Kansas City.

The Kansas City Star reports that officers responded early Sunday to a report about a body lying in a road. Missouri Capt. Tim Hernandez says the victim was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

An emergency room doctor says the victim appeared to have been struck by a vehicle. Hernandez says the traffic investigation unit doesn’t have any witnesses or video to determine what happened, or any suspect information.
