Coming up next time.
Sounds good, Sue. Thank you.
A 24-year-old man riding an illegal
e-motorcycle was killed in a hit-and-run in East Germantown.
I want to get out to Morgan, who has the latest on this case for us.
Morgan, good morning.
Thomas, Alex, good morning. That's right.
It happened just after 1 a.m. here in Germantown,
actually right down the street on Shelton and Bainton.
And police say when they arrived on scene,
that's when they found that 24-year-old man lying on the highway.
We know police and medics, they picked him up, rushed him
to Einstein Hospital, and sadly he was pronounced dead just after 1.30.
Now officials say that he was driving an electric motorcycle
at the time and that was when a white
or light colored sedan struck him and then fled the scene.
Chief Small says the motorcycle, it was not street legal.
It was one of those small electric motorcycles without lights
or turn signals. So it wasn't supposed to be on the street.
But still, I mean, this is just so sad.
This is how hard that 24 year old was hit.
Chief Small says that he was knocked out of both of his sneakers
and we also saw broken car parts on the scene as well.
So again, not too many details about the suspect at this time.
We just know that they were driving a white
or light colored sedan possibly belonging to a Ford
and then fled westbound on Shelton and Bainton.
We're not sure which direction the motorcycle was headed.
However, the motorcycle is not street legal.
It's a small electric motorcycle.
It doesn't have lights.
It does not have turn signals.
It also does not have a license plate or inspection sticker.
So clearly it's a small dirt bike not meant to be driven on the street.
The vehicle, according to witnesses,
was traveling westbound on Shelton from Baton when the
That vehicle struck the 24-year-old on the electric motorcycle.
And Chief Small says that there are several cameras out here,
and obviously there's several businesses as well,
so hopefully they can look through that surveillance footage
as part of the investigation.
Guys?
Yeah, could make all the difference in that investigation.
7:06, Morgan, thank you.
