VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The North Dakota Highway Patrol identified the man killed during a hit and run incident on Interstate 94 west of Valley City on Sunday, December 21st as 27-year-old Jerson Mejia of Honduras.
Law enforcement is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the vehicle and driver responsible for striking and killing this man.
Here is the latest update from the Highway Patrol. “At this time, the color, exact make, and model of the vehicle involved are unknown. NDHP is asking the public to focus on damage characteristics, not vehicle color. Based on evidence recovered at the scene, the vehicle is believed to have damage to the front bumper and passenger-side front quarter panel. A bug deflector was located and pieced back together; a photograph of the reconstructed bug deflector is included with this release. NDHP believes a black plastic 7-inch by 4-inch piece may be missing from behind the bumper on the passenger-side front quarter panel. Additionally, a 1-inch chrome-colored piece may be missing from the headlight assembly. Based on the bug deflector and damage pattern, the vehicle may be a Ford F-150 or Ford F-250 from the early to mid 2000s.”
