The
Richmond Police Department’s Crash Team is investigating a fatal hit and run
that occurred this morning on Hull Street Road.
At approximately 2:30 a.m., a
passerby saw a person down in the roadway in the 5200 block of Hull Street Road
and called police. Officers arrived and found an adult male down and
unresponsive in an eastbound lane of the roadway. He was pronounced dead at the

driver did not stop and the vehicle left the scene eastbound on Hull Street
Road. The collision occurred near the businesses, “Tony’s Auto Repair” and “New

locate the vehicle and driver. The vehicle may possibly be silver or gray in
color with heavy damage to the front end/right passenger front with front
windshield damage.
