Police searching for car in deadly northeast Dallas hit-and-run

DALLAS — Police are calling on the public to help identify the driver wanted for a deadly hit-and-run in northeast Dallas.

Officers believe the victim stepped onto the road while on his phone when he was hit by a speeding driver. They said the pedestrian was thrown off of the roadway and into a brick wall.

The driver didn’t stop to help before leaving the scene, according to police. The unnamed pedestrian died from his injuries.

Dallas police said the vehicle is a black 2008-2012 Honda Accord with a missing passenger side mirror. That’s in addition to the “extreme damage” on the passenger side, the front right headlights, a windshield, and the body of the car. The Honda might also have some customizations that make a loud engine noise, like a racing exhaust.
