Turlock police are looking for the suspect in a fatal hit-and-run crash that occurred on Fulkerth Road on Tuesday afternoon.

What authorities believe is a white Acura TL was traveling west on Fulkerth, between Tully Road and Countryside Drive, when it hit a pedestrian in the roadway, according to Sgt. Mike Parmley. It remains under investigation whether the pedestrian, an adult male, was trying to cross the street. The collision was in front of a bus stop, Parmley said.

The pedestrian’s name has not been released.
