On Saturday afternoon, June 18 a man died when run when hit by a hit and run driver.
According to police, the accident happened at around 5.30 on the southbound Interstate 35 near downtown at the Nogalitos exit, which is exit 35. Cesar Lopez, aged 40 was outside his vehicle as he was changing a tire; when he was hit by what police believe was a blue pickup truck which may have been pulling a trailer. Having hit Lopez, the person driving the truck did not stop but kept going. Police say they are still looking for the truck and the driver but point out that either the truck or the trailer may have damage on its left side.
Lopez was given CPR by emergency services but was pronounced dead at the scene and police are still searching for the person responsible who they think might be an older person. They did say that a witness followed the hit and run driver for a considerable way, to Highway 16 but then the truck disappeared.
