1 killed in hit-and-run on Second Avenue in Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- A person is dead after a hit-and-run in Pittsburgh on Sunday night.

Pittsburgh police said officers found an unresponsive man in the middle of Second Avenue just before 10 p.m.

The victim had severe head injuries, police said. Officers began CPR until medics arrived and pronounced the victim dead at the scene. The medical examiner identified him as 23-year-old James Jerry Vas-Patterson. 

"I'm not surprised. People fly up and down Second Avenue all the time. Everywhere. Everyone's in a rush," said Nick Morrone, a truck driver who works nearby.

The only two things in the vicinity of the hit-and-run are a paving company and a concrete making company. Both said they have cameras at their entrances but they don't believe they're pointed in the right direction. The city of Pittsburgh confirmed there are no city cameras along this stretch of Second Avenue. 

The collision investigation unit is investigating, police said. There was no word on any possible suspects.
