The
Santa Cruz Police Department is asking for the public’s continued help in
identifying the vehicle and driver. Someone
in the community knows that truck and the driver who would have been traveling
on Soquel Ave around 6:36 AM the day after Christmas.
Investigators
continued to pour over evidence recovered from the fatal hit and run collision
from Friday December 26, 2014.
Video
evidence gathered from area businesses helped to pinpoint the collision time,
and captured the suspect vehicle fleeing from the scene. The time was determined to be 6:36 AM.
One of the
cameras actually captured the audible sound of the collision and then images of
the suspect vehicle speeding away. Thus
far, images captured are not clear enough to depict the driver or a license
plate number.
Debris
from the suspect’s car, collected at the scene, tends to indicate the vehicle
is a white Toyota Tundra, approximately a 2007.
Here is a photo of a similar vehicle:
The truck could also be from a slightly earlier year like this one:
The
vehicle will have damage to the right front and right side. The evidence collected at the scene includes
a right side mirror housing and fog lamp bumper housing.
Investigators
have followed up on a number of tips, but none have been the car involved in
this collision.
