AKRON, Ohio – A 26-year-old woman died Friday night after she was struck by a white truck on Ohio Route 8, police say.
The crash happened about 10:30 p.m. on Ohio Route 8 southbound near the East Buchtel Avenue exit, Akron police spokesman Lt. Michael Miller said in a news release. When they arrived, officers found the victim lying unresponsive in the roadway.
She was taken to Summa Health Akron City Hospital, where she died, Miller said. Her identity has not yet been publicly released.
During the initial investigation, authorities learned that the woman had been riding in a vehicle on the highway with her mother, Miller said. The woman was “acting erratically” during the ride, and at some point, her mother pulled over and let the woman out of the vehicle.
Shortly after getting out of her mother’s car, the woman stepped into the roadway and was struck by a white truck. The white truck’s driver briefly stopped at the crash scene, but then sped away, Miller said.
Akron police are still searching for the white truck’s driver, Miller said. The investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information about the crash is asked to contact Akron police’s Detective Bureau at 330-375-2490 or 330-375-2Tip, Miller said. Tips can also be sent to Summit County Crimestoppers by calling 330-434-COPS or texting TIPSCO with your tips to 274637. Tips can remain anonymous.
