Aurora, IL – Police are asking for help to find a driver involved in a deadly hit-and-run crash early Saturday morning. The crash left a 43-year-old Aurora man dead on the city’s southeast side.
Authorities said the incident occurred at about 5:19 a.m. at Ogden Avenue and South Farnsworth Avenue. A black Infiniti FX45 ran a red light at high speed and crashed into a grey Honda Civic. The Honda, driven by Ramiro Moreno, had the right-of-way.
Witnesses saw the Infiniti’s driver, described as a Black male in his 30s, flee the scene. He was last seen running north on Farnsworth Avenue. He was wearing a white t-shirt, light-colored jeans, and Nike shoes.
