PHOENIX — Two people died after hit-and-runs occurred in Phoenix when the cars drove away from the separate scenes, authorities said.

Around 8:15 p.m. Thursday night, Phoenix police responded to the area of 91st Avenue and Palm Lane involving a serious collision.

Officers learned an adult female had been laying prone in the road when a truck struck her and drove off.

The female later died from her injuries.

The suspect drives a silver truck and is still outstanding.

Later Thursday night at 10 p.m., Phoenix police responded to the area of Interstate 17 and Grand Avenue on reports of a collision, authorities said.

Officers learned a male was walking south on Grand Avenue when he was struck by a mirror and knocked to the ground. An unknown sedan also travelling southbound ran over the male, who later died from his injuries.

The suspected vehicle is a possibly light-colored sedan.

No other information was made available as both of the investigations remain ongoing.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Phoenix Police Department or Silent Witness (480-WITNESS or 480-TESTIGO for Spanish speakers), if they wish to remain anonymous.

We want to hear from you.
