Uuuugh. That poor family. I bet doorbell cam footage will ID the driver soon enough.

Driver found, and it wasn’t a Wrangler after all: https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news...uspect-in-fatal-july-4th-hit-and-run/2299306/

(How the hell does one mistake a white Dodge for a green Jeep?)

Sad story.

Yeah, thankfully they found enough home security footage to ID the truck (white Dodge pickup) and the driver. Sadly it doesn't help the victim.

Wow, that's some serious misinformation to have presented as FACT. Whoever reported the " green jeep" needs to review journalism basics.

Well, it's not bad journalism or even misinformation, it's an eyewitnesses who walked up the road and found a woman dying in the street and she named the last vehicle they saw go by (the Jeep). After reviewing the cameras the PD apparently concluded that the Jeep came along after the white Ram hit the woman. So the eyewitness did the best she could. Not everything is fake news/bad journalism.
