MISSOULA - Authorities have identified a man who was killed by a hit-and-run driver in East Missoula. The Missoula County Sheriff's Department says the victim was 26-year-old Bronson Parsons of East Missoula.

He was struck by an SUV at about 1:40 on New Year's morning, while walking alongside Old Highway 200. Parsons died later in the morning at a Missoula hospital.

The Montana Highway Patrol says a dark-colored SUV struck Parsons, then fled the scene and continued west into Missoula. The patrol says the vehicle would likely have front-end damage as well as damage on the passenger side.

More than two years of detective work has led to charges of negligent homicide in the hit-and-run death of East Missoula resident Bronson Parsons... Katie Irene Garding of Stevensville was accused on Tuesday by the Missoula County Attorney’s Office of felony negligent homicide, felony failure to stop at an accident scene, felony evidence tampering and misdemeanor driving without a license in connection with the Jan. 1, 2008, death of Parsons
