Police are asking for help finding the hit-and-run driver who killed a 24-year-old woman who was skateboarding in Fort Worth on Christmas.
At about 9:30 p.m., the woman was skateboarding on the eastbound service road near the 5600 block of Interstate 20. A black Ford F-150 pickup truck hit her on the road, Fort Worth police said.
