1 man dead in apparent hit-and-run in Phoenix

PHOENIX (AP) - Police are investigating a hit-and-run after a body of a 34-year-old man was discovered on a Phoenix road.

Sgt. Tommy Thompson says Benjamin Snethen was found Friday around 8 p.m. and was pronounced dead by Phoenix firefighters called to the scene.

Thompson says Snethen’s injuries are consistent with someone who was hit by a vehicle but there is little physical evidence.

He says detectives are unsure if Snethen was struck at that location or elsewhere.

Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to come forward or call the Silent Witness hotline at 480-WITNESS.
