Oregon officials searching for driver who fatally struck pedestrian, fled from scene

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Authorities are searching for a suspect who fled from the scene of a deadly hit-and-run last month, Oregon State Police said.

On Sept. 30, around 8:45 p.m., OSP responded to a call about a person lying in the roadway in the 100 block of Hogue Drive in Selma, Josephine County.

Authorities determined that the person had been struck by a car and had left the scene. The pedestrian, 62-year-old Ray Wilder, was declared dead at the scene.

“Detectives conducted witness interviews and learned a red truck and a white 4Runner (or similar vehicle) with a black canopy were seen speeding away from the area after the crash. The vehicles reportedly drove past the scene several minutes later. The suspect vehicle is believed to have front-end damage and may have a broken windshield,” OSP said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact OSP.
