A search is underway for the driver involved in a fatal hit-and-run crash that claimed the life of a Silver Spring woman.
Montgomery County Police say 61-year-old Hanna Wegayehou was struck by a vehicle Friday afternoon while crossing Crestmoor Drive near Colesville Road. Officers were called to the scene around 1:15 p.m., but despite lifesaving efforts, Wegayehou was pronounced dead there.
Investigators say the driver left the scene before police arrived. Detectives are looking for a black SUV with tinted windows that may have front-end or right-front damage and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
