Police are investigating a fatal hit-and-run that killed a 57-year-old Methuen man outside of his home, officials said.

The crash happened around 8:40 p.m. Monday at 253 Jackson St., according to a post from the Methuen Police Department. 

Officers told the Boston Herald Timothy Lafferty was crossing the street to meet a tow truck driver when he was fatally struck.

A sedan with front-end damage located at a nearby home was seized as evidence, according to a release.

Police are asking residents who live between Ranger Road and Pleasant Valley Street to check their security cameras for footage of a vehicle heading toward Pleasant Valley Street around that time.
