DETROIT (WXYZ) — One person was killed in a hit-and-run crash on Greenfield near Plymouth Rd. on Detroit's west side overnight.
7 Action News Reporter Matthew Smith has been told a pickup truck hit the pedestrian overnight and left the scene, but later returned to the scene. It happened on Greenfield between I-96 and Plymouth.
Surveillance video shows a young man walked across the street and the truck hit the man, which sent him into the other lanes of the road where he was then hit by another car.
Police are looking for the second car that hit the man.
