Cleveland police have located all four vehicles involved in a hit-skip that left a 63-year-old man dead on Thursday. The final vehicle was located Sunday afternoon.
Just before 5:30 a.m. on Thursday, Parma Heights resident Todd Mitchell Howard was struck by multiple vehicles and dragged nearly a mile while in the crosswalk on Ridge Road, police said.
After being hit by the first vehicle, Howard fell to the ground and was struck by a second and third vehicle. A fourth vehicle then hit him and dragged him to the intersection of West Boulevard and Lorain Avenue. The vehicle stopped after the driver realized Howard was under the vehicle, police said.
The first three vehicles fled the area after they hit him, police said. The driver of the fourth vehicle stayed at the scene.
Howard was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
