CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- An Elkview man died in what polices say was a hit-and-run accident on Elk River Road Friday evening.
The Kanawha County Sheriff's Office is investigating the accident, which happened in the 5100 block of Elk River Road in Blue Creek, just north of the intersection of Blue Creek Road near the Blue Creek post office.
Deputies say a vehicle traveling north on Elk River Road struck and killed pedestrian Dennis Glen James, 47, around 11:20 p.m. as he crossed the road.
James was pronounced dead at CAMC General Hospital, according to a news release.
Police say the suspect vehicle could be a passenger car. A witness thought the vehicle's taillights looked something like a Dodge Neon, but the witness was not sure. The vehicle may be dark colored and should have damage to the front and driver's side as well as the headlight area.
