Police responded to a hit-and-run incident in San Antonio on Sunday evening.
THE Department of Public Safety is seeking the community’s assistance regarding an auto-pedestrian incident that claimed the life of a man on Tun Thomas P. Sablan Road in San Antonio by the Pakpak beach area.
On Sunday, Dec. 15, at 11:20 p.m., responding police officers arrived at the scene and discovered “a male individual without a pulse,” Assistant Chief of Police Simon Manacop said.
“Serious injuries were also observed on the person,” he added.

A family member has positively identified the victim, he added.
