The 21-year-old skateboarder injured in a Feb. 1 hit-and-run died from his injuries Thursday night, officials said.
Michael Hartman was critically injured after he was hit by a car in the area of South Swan Road and East Valencia Road, said Cody Gress, a Pima County Sheriff's Department spokesman.
Traffic detectives went to the scene at 2 p.m. for reports of a man down, and learned that the suspect car was traveling northbound on Swan Road when it crashed into Hartman, who was riding his skateboard, Gress said.
Witnesses told detectives that the car didn't slow down or stop, and continued to drive northbound.ย
The driver of the vehicle who hit Hartman still hasn't been identified, but deputies are looking for a gold or tan 2004 to 2008 Toyota Corolla with front-end and windshield damage, Gress said.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or submit an anonymous tip to 88-CRIME, an anonymous tipster hotline.
