Gwinnett County police Wednesday were looking for a hit-and-run driver involved in a fatal pedestrian accident late Tuesday night.
Thiago Campos, 25, of Suwanee was attempting to cross Sugarloaf Parkway between Cruse Road and Ga. 316 shortly after 11:30 p.m. when he was hit by a vehicle believed to be a late-model Dodge Ram, Gwinnett police Cpl. Edwin Ritter said.
Campos, who was not in a crosswalk when he was hit, died at the scene.
The driver of the Dodge did not stop and left the scene, Ritter said.
He said investigators determined the type of vehicle from debris left at the scene, but were not certain of the Dodge's color and had no description of the driver.
Ritter said the Dodge would likely have damage to front passenger side of the vehicle.
He asked that anyone with information call investigators at 770-338-7430, ext. 5670.
