SAVANNAH, Ga. (WJCL) — Investigators with the Major Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) were back on the scene of a fatal hit-and-run Tuesday morning. Crews worked to gather more information on the crime in hopes of solving the accident which killed a Bronze Star-awarded veteran who was just passing through.

And with a $100,000 now on the line from family, friends and Crimestoppers, officials are still hoping that someone at the busy section of Abercorn saw something that will lead to the driver’s arrest. “Our father was killed by someone’s recklessness and we are eager to have that person identified so that they cannot bring harm to others,” said Deb Meyer Cohen and Susan Meyer Ross.

“We also know there is healing power in taking responsibility and asking for forgiveness, and we are hoping whoever committed this crime will step forward and accept responsibility for their actions.” Peter J.
