Oregon State Police are still trying to find the suspect or suspects in a fatal hit and run crash which took place last weekend in the Green District.

An OSP release said Sunday just before 1:10 a.m. troopers responded to the wreck involving a pedestrian on Highway 42 near Grant Smith Road south of Roseburg.

The preliminary investigation indicated that 30-year-old Dustin Rios of Canyonville was walking in the lane of travel for an unknown reason when he was struck by an eastbound vehicle. This happened near the Taco Bell store. A black Honda passenger vehicle fled the scene after striking Rios. He was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The release said roadside evidence suggests the vehicle involved is a 2006-2011 black Honda Civic. Evidence from the scene indicated the vehicle sustained damage to the driver’s side mirror. Law enforcement also recovered an adhesive transparent window visor believed to have come from the driver’s side door.

The sedan was last seen traveling eastbound on Highway 42 toward Interstate 5 and police believe it may have continued northbound.

Anyone with information is asked to contact OSP’s Southern Command dispatch center at 800-442-2068.
