Hit and run driver still sought

Plymouth Township Police have re-issued a request for help from the public in identifying a hit and run driver involved in a fatal accident last fall.

Police said the vehicle involved in the death of 78-year-old Warren Flagg, never stopped after striking him as he was raking leaves in front of his Beck Road home. The car is believed to be a 2007 to 2010 Pontiac Solstice which would have sustained damage to the front passenger side of the vehicle.

The incident took place on Beck Road, between Powell and North Territorial Road Oct. 30, police said. A passing motorist saw Mr. Flagg laying near the roadway and stopped to render first aid. Mr. Flagg was transported to a nearby hospital where he later died of his injuries.

Crime Stoppers of Michigan is offering a $2,500 reward for information that leads to an arrest in the case. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP or visit www.1800speakup.org. Callers can remain anonymous.
