BRIDGEPORT, CT — Police have identified a driver and seized a vehicle in connection with a fatal hit-and-run in Bridgeport last week, according to The Connecticut Post.

The victim, Donna Dvornek, 63, was rushed to the hospital but died of her injuries.

Police later received a call from a woman who said she was the driver who fled. The woman's 2008 white Mitsubishi Endeavor was seized by investigators.
