Man Riding Scooter Killed In Hit And Run In Stoughton

STOUGHTON (CBS) - Stoughton Police are looking for help finding the driver wanted in a hit and run crash that killed a man early Sunday morning.

It happened around 1:50 a.m. at the intersection of Route 139 and Route 24.

Stoughton Police Lieutenant John Bonney said 23-year-old Aquilino Lopez of Quincy was struck while riding his scooter home from work.

"The driver never stopped," Lieutenant Bonney said. "The person operating the vehicle would have been very clear that they were involved in a motor vehicle crash and struck someone."

Lopez, a native of Guatemala who was known as Victor to his friends, was pronounced dead when officers arrived at the scene.

"There was some serious injuries that were obvious to our officers, and a nurse had also stopped," said Bonney. "Our officers did everything they could."

So far, no arrests have been made. Investigators say they are looking for a dark vehicle with square tail lights.

Anyone who may have information is asked to call Stoughton Police.
