San Mateo police ask public for help finding driver in deadly hit-and-run

San Mateo police are asking for help in finding the driver who fled the scene of a deadly hit-and-run on Saturday.

The victim of the hit-and-run was a 56-year-old man. Police said he was struck around 9 p.m. on Feb. 8, just west of the 1400 block of Fashion Island Boulevard.

Police are now asking anyone who was between South Norfolk Street to Chess Drive, or any of the adjoining streets, if they saw anything or have video from around that time. The timeframe they are searching for is between 8:45 p.m. and 9 p.m.

They are also searching for any dashcam footage. Drivers that were driving on Fashion Island Boulevard to or from South Norfolk Street could have video that would be helpful to investigators.

Police do not have any information about the vehicle.

Anyone with information is asked to call Officer Jolivette at 650-522-7784 or email them at jjolivette@cityofsanmateo.org.
