AURORA, IL — Police have located the vehicle of interest from a hit-and-run crash that killed a man early Sunday morning, but have not yet found the driver.

Authorities were called to the scene of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle at around 1 a.m. Sunday. Paramedics found 59-year-old Michael Brooks in the road and took him to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
