PITTSBURGH (AP) - Authorities say a person was struck and killed by a vehicle that fled the scene in suburban Pittsburgh.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported that the accident happened Sunday night in Ross Township. Police didn’t immediately provide further details.
The Philly Pretzel Factory said in a Facebook post that the hit-run happened shortly before 7 p.m. Sunday and the person who died was the father of an employee.
The company posted pictures of a white car that it said may have been involved, asking anyone who recognized it to call township police.
The firm called the death “the most despicable thing that could possibly happen to any family, a week before Christmas.”
Authorities haven’t released the name of the person killed.
