A man has been charged with hitting and killing a pedestrian in southern Utah last week and fleeing the scene.
Police said the victim, a male whose name or age have not been released, was hit Thursday night around 9:45 p.m. in Washington City . Despite lifesaving efforts from bystanders and first responders, the victim died at the scene. Witnesses said there was no suspect when they arrived in the area and found the victim in the road.
Then on Saturday, police received a tip from a caller who said 20-year-old Joe Emanuel Hernandez was in the St. George area for work, and he had hit someone while driving but drove away without stopping. Police went to Hernandez's residence in West Valley City, where they saw him park his RAV-4 in the backyard. Investigators also contacted Hernandez's insurance provider, who told them he made a claim and said he hit a deer. However, he had not yet provided photos of the damage.
