Police On Hunt For Chevy Impala Involved In Fatal Hit And Run

CHARLOTTE, NC -- Charlotte police are on the hunt for a silver Chevrolet Impala with a smashed left front that they say was responsible for striking and killing a 46 year-old wheelchair-bound pedestrian over the weekend.

The deadly scene unfolded around 12:40 a.m. in the 700 block of West Sugar Creek Road Oct. 28, when Dandy Eugene Duncan was attempting to cross the road at the driveway of Americare Pediatrics.

The 46-year-old man was not crossing inside a crosswalk, was wearing dark clothing and his wheelchair did not have reflectors, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police. He was taken to Carolinas Medical Center for treatment by paramedics and was pronounced dead at 2:32 a.m.

At the time of the accident, CMPD had not identified a suspect in the hit and run. Wednesday, however, police said they are now looking for a silver Impala produced between 2006 and 2013 with tinted windows and a 30-day tag or out of state paper tag.

Photos representing that make and model of vehicle may be found here.

CMPD asks that anyone with information with a vehicle matching that description contact Detective N. Bush at 704-432-2169 or Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600.
