Police Release Information – Seek Driver and Vehicle Involved In Marine’s Accidental Death

Police Release Information – Seek
Driver and Vehicle Involved In
Marine’s Accidental Death
Irving, Texas, On Wednesday, May 19, 2010, at approximately 5:50 a.m. Evan Sanchey (23) from Yakima, WA., was struck and killed by a hit & run driver in the 4400 block of S.H.183 (at the Esters Road exit ramp). Mr. Sanchey, an active serviceman with the U.S. Marine Corps, had recently flown in from duty in Afghanistan, and was here awaiting a connecting flight home for two weeks of R&R.
Since the date of the accident, investigators have been in contact with numerous witnesses and determined that Sanchey was crossing the freeway from north to south when he was struck by a light colored (possibly white or silver) Mazda Tribute. That vehicle, which slowed briefly then moved to the right before accelerating back into the lane, was last seen eastbound on S.H.183 toward Dallas. To date, that driver has not contacted investigators. Investigators have spoken with numerous witnesses and know that additional witnesses were present who have yet to come forward. Investigators are certain that the details those witnesses have could be extremely helpful in providing closure to their investigation of this tragic accident.
Vehicle parts recovered from the scene combined with witness information indicates that the vehicle sustained noticeable front right damage in the accident. Due to the damage it is certain that the vehicle will need, or possibly has already been, repaired or had an estimate done. Police are asking for businesses and/or individuals, in the DFW Metroplex and North Texas area that provide vehicle repair, to be alert and contact them if they have information that could help identify/locate the vehicle and operator.
The Irving Police Department’s 24-hour-number is (972) 273-1010, or for direct contact with the accident investigator call (972)721-2761. Your assistance is needed and appreciated.
