ARLINGTON, Texas — The Arlington Police Department is investigating a fatal hit-and-run that took place early Sunday morning.
Police were called at about 2:01 a.m. to the intersection of West Pioneer Parkway and Center Street after reports of the hit-and-run. They found the victim, a 30-year-old man lying in the roadway, where he was pronounced dead, police said.
