HAGÅTÑA (The Guam Daily Post) — The Guam Police Department continues to search for a suspect involved in a fatal hit-and-run that occurred last week.
On March 30 at about 10:11 p.m., A.B. Won Pat International Airport Authority police officers responded to an auto-pedestrian collision on East Sunset Boulevard in Tiyan by DHL. The Guam Fire Department also responded and found a man who was “unconscious and unresponsive.”
The man was given CPR on the scene, according to GFD, but because of the injuries he sustained, paramedics could not continue resuscitation measures. The man was later pronounced dead at Guam Memorial Hospital at 11:32 p.m.
The GPD’s Highway Patrol Division was subsequently contacted and launched an investigation. Preliminary findings determined a man was in the middle of the roadway when a car traveling eastbound struck the man and fled the scene. The incident involved a brown colored sedan.
Since responding to the fatal collision, Highway Patrol has continued to investigate.
On Monday, more than a week after the incident, GPD spokesperson Officer Berlyn Savella confirmed with The Guam Daily Post that the incident was still under investigation.
“The case is ongoing,” Savella said, stating additional information about the incident would be forthcoming.
Anyone with information about the fatal collision is encouraged to contact GPD at 671-475-8615~7.
Traffic deaths
The March 30 death of a man hit by a car in Tiyan is the second traffic-related death since the start of the year, according to Post files.
The first occurred Tuesday, Feb. 13, when a bicyclist traveling on the median lane of Route 10 in Barrigada by Jolene Leon Guerrero Street was hit by a maroon vehicle that was traveling on the inner northbound lane when the bicyclist encroached onto the inner northbound lane, GPD stated.
The bicyclist was identified as a male possibly in his 50s, who was declared deceased at Guam Memorial Hospital after the collision, Post files state.
Police markings are seen on East Sunset Boulevard in front of DHL in Tiyan on Sunday, March 31, 2024.
