CATLETT, Va. — Virginia State Police were looking for the two cars involved in a hit and run that killed a man crossing a road in Fauquier County on Friday evening.
This hit-and-run happened at around 5:45 p.m. in Catlett, Va. Garland J. Heddings, 73, was apparently walking across the Elk Run Road portion of Route 806, near the road's intersection with Flippo Lane; when two cars, driving in opposite lanes, crashed into him, killing him.
"An adult male pedestrian was walking eastbound across Route 806 when he was struck by a northbound SUV," Virginia State Police said on Friday. "The pedestrian was then struck by an unknown southbound vehicle. Neither vehicle stopped at the scene."
State police said they believe the first car involved in the hit-and-run was an older model silver Nissan SUV, from the late 90s or early 2000s. Similar to the one pictured down below. The truck is believed to have damage to its front and driver side.
