Man killed in hit-and-run crash in Pittsburgh's Brighton Heights neighborhood

A man was killed in a hit-and-run crash in Pittsburgh's Brighton Heights neighborhood, authorities said. 

First responders were called to the area of Davis and Massachusetts avenues after receiving reports of an injured person lying in the road on Wednesday night, according to Pittsburgh Public Safety. 

When first responders arrived at the scene, officials said crews found a man with significant head trauma lying in the street. The man was taken to the hospital by medics in critical condition, and officials said the man, identified by the Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office as 58-year-old Lawrence Soeder, died a short time later. 

According to Pittsburgh Public Safety, investigators believe the man's injuries were consistent with those of someone who was hit by a vehicle. The driver did not remain at the scene, investigators said. Officials said they are looking for a dark-colored Kia Soul.

"The vehicle is described as having two-tone paint, with a dark color on top and lighter on the bottom," police said in an update Thursday evening. 

The bureau's Collision Investigation Unit is leading the investigation into the hit-and-run crash, Pittsburgh Public Safety said. Officials added that investigators are canvassing for video from nearby homes and businesses, as they look to identify the driver. 

Neighbors declined comment, saying in the daylight, the area is not a high-risk intersection, and most people drive cautiously with a church, a funeral home and a school nearby.
