PHOENIX — Phoenix police are looking for the driver involved in a deadly hit-and-run crash.

On Saturday around 10:00 p.m., police say 30-year-old Josue Soto was crossing the street at Van Buren Street and 33rd Avenue when he was struck by a car.

The driver of a white 2007 to 2010 Saturn Outlook did not stop and left the scene.

Detectives say Soto was in a marked crosswalk, but there are no signal lights at that intersection.

He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
