TWO FATALITY Hit-and-runs in JUST ONE WEEK
Hattiesburg Police are investigating two hit-and-run accidents – both of which resulted in a fatality.
The first victim, a male, was found Nov. 6 laying in the southbound lane of Highway 49 near the U.S. 98 intersection and had been struck by at least one vehicle.
The second fatality occurred a week later on Nov. 13. Based on surveillance footage from that scene, police say what appears to be a dark-colored or black heavy-duty pickup truck pulled into the southbound lanes of Highway 49 just north of Hattiesburg and collided with a Ford Fusion.
The driver of the Fusion was pronounced dead at the scene.
The truck, which was pulling a gooseneck trailer with a camper on top, was driven by a Hispanic male, who stopped at the scene, but left before speaking with authorities.
A second vehicle, a white passenger car with a Florida tag driven by another Hispanic male, was apparently accompanying the black truck and stopped briefly, but also left before speaking with authorities.
Hattiesburg Police investigators would like to speak with those two individuals regarding the traffic accident.
