Police identify pedestrian killed in two-vehicle hit and run
Police have identified a man who died after being struck by two vehicles that fled the scene on Columbus' Far East Side.
James K. Brusenhan, 66, was crossing East Broad Street at Richmond Woods Drive at 12:59 a.m. Friday, according to a police report. He was struck by an unknown westbound vehicle on East Broad Street that left the scene.
Police say the impact knocked Brusenhan into the center turn lane, and he crawled into the first eastbound lane, where a witness said he was struck by a 2016-2018 Toyota RAV4. That driver of that SUV also fled, according to a police report.
The crash is still under investigation. Anyone with knowledge about the involved vehicles can contact the Columbus Division of Police accident investigation unit at 614-645-4767 or submit an anonymous tip to Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 614-461-8477.
