A hit and run accident will now be considered a homicide, after an elderly Great Falls man died in the hospital Thursday night.
the Great Falls Police Department received the hit and run call around 7:45 on the morning of March 3RD at 5th Avenue South and 13th Street.
Upon arrival, they discovered an 83-year-old man laying in the middle of the road after being struck by the vehicle.
The man was taken to the hospital, where he remained until passing away.
His injuries were so severe, that detectives were never able to interview him for this case.
Police are now looking for anyone who may have witnessed the event or seen the vehicle that morning, or any details about a potential suspect.
Any information can be directed to Detective Keith Hedges at 771-1180.

maybe instead of asking this question 2 weeks later, the police should have asked the public if they had any information when this accident happened. HHHELLLOOO!!
