Search Continues For Vehicle In Deadly Hit-And-Run: West Hartford PD

WEST HARTFORD, CT — Local police Friday issued yet another request for information as they continue to search for the vehicle believed responsible for the hit-and-run death of an elderly woman late last year.

The West Hartford Police Department issued another bulletin on the investigation, which stems from a fatal motor vehicle-versus-pedestrian collision on Dec. 20, 2022.

It happened in the area of Boulevard and Whiting Lane, police said.

Killed in the incident was 89-year-old Eugenia Yurovsky of West Hartford, who police released a photograph of on Friday.

Police said Jurovsky was reportedly struck by a light-colored vehicle.

"A possible motor vehicle of interest may include a 2010-2015 GMC type vehicle, which may have been involved," wrote the WHPD Friday.

"The fleeing vehicle likely sustained damage to the front driver side grille and bumper area."

The incident was one of many last December that, ultimately, claimed the lives of five people on West Hartford roads, including three on Christmas Day.

This prompted the town to act fast and dedicate resources toward promoting and enforcing traffic safety in town.

Anyone with information is requested to contact the WHPD Routine Line at 860-523-5203, the WHPD Traffic Division at 860-570-8850 or the anonymous Tip Line/Email at (860) 570-8969 / whpdtips@westhartfordct.gov.
