It happened a little after 2 a.m. on the Northwest Fwy feeder under 290 near W 34th Street. That’s where witnesses told police they saw an unidentified man on the ground, but it’s unclear what caused him to fall initially.

At some point, however, while the witnesses were calling for help, they saw a driver in a white Chevy Malibu hit the pedestrian and continue driving. The man died as a result.
