LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Authorities have released the name of a 44-year-old man who was fatally struck by a hit-and-run driver while crossing a Lincoln street.
Police identified the man Monday as Sean Cover, who lived in Lincoln.
Officers were sent around 9:30 p.m. Saturday to check a report about a man down in a street. They discovered the body of the man later identified as Cover.
Lincoln police said a 22-year-old woman went to police about three hours later and said she tried to avoid hitting Cover, who she said was crossing in the middle of a block.
Officers arrested the woman on suspicion of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in serious bodily injury or death. She’s also accused of not having insurance and of driving on a suspended license. Court records don’t yet show that she’s been formally charged.
