Police are asking for help to find driver in fatal Quincy hit-and-run
Quincy police are asking for the public’s help to locate the driver involved in a hit-and-run crash that has resulted in the death of a 78-year-old woman.
Akiu Ngo of Quincy died Sunday afternoon from her injuries, according to the Boston Globe.
She was struck on Burgin Parkway at around 4:45 p.m on December 3. The operator then got out of his vehicle before fleeing the scene, Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey said in a press conference on Monday.
“We do believe that he was aware that he hit a human being,’’ Quincy Police Chief Paul Keenan said. “It does make it more tragic, and I don’t understand why someone would leave a human being lying in the middle of the road.’’
The driver is described as a white male between the age of 40 and 50. He is believed to have gray hair, and was wearing khaki pants, a plaid shirt, and black jacket at the time of the crash, police said.
Authorities described the vehicle as a boxy, black station wagon-type vehicle.
