Police are searching for a suspect wanted for a fatal hit-and-run Tuesday in Arlington, police say.
Around 6:40 p.m., officers responded following a report of a crash involving a motorcycle and pickup truck. When they arrived on scene, the motorcycle driver was lying on the ground, and the pickup truck had already fled the area.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. The medical examiner will identify him after next of kin is notified.
