Police: Man Killed After He Was Struck By Two Hit-And-Run Drivers

A man was killed Friday night after he was struck by two different hit-and-run drivers, Bridgeport Police said.

The victim was westbound on Rambo Street, attempting to cross Ford Street, around 11:40 p.m. Friday, Dec. 5, when he was struck by a late-1990s Ford Explorer operated by a Hispanic male, police said. The driver briefly stopped before fleeing north on Ford Street, police said.

The victim was then struck a second time, by a dark green Cadillac or Lincoln sport-utility vehicle, police said. The driver of the second vehicle did not stop.

The victim was transported to Einstein Medical Center Montgomery, where he was pronounced dead. The victim’s name has not been released by police, pending the notification of his family, but police did say he is a Bridgeport resident.

The Ford Explorer sustained damage to its passenger-side front headlight, police said. The dark green SUV had a white vinyl decal of a stick-figure family in its rear window.
