Fort Worth police seek help to identify hit-and-run driver who killed man in wheelchair
Police in Fort Worth are looking for the driver of a silver compact sedan they say hit and killed a man in a wheelchair who was crossing an intersection in the south part of the city before sunrise Friday.
Police said in a news release the victim was crossing the intersection of East Seminary Drive and Evans Avenue around 6:40 a.m. Friday when he was hit by the sedan. The driver did not stop and left the scene without trying to help the pedestrian.
The victim was taken to a hospital, where he died from his injuries. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office identified him as William John Wayne Russell, 56, of Houston.
