PHOENIX — A hit-and-run crash in Phoenix left one person dead and another hurt late Sunday night.

Maricopa County Sheriff's officials were called to the area of 39th and Southern avenues around 11 p.m. for reports of a crash involving two pedestrians.

One of the victims, a man, was taken to the hospital where he died from his injuries. The second victim was a woman who suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The vehicle involved fled the scene.

MCSO says it's possibly a silver, white, or light-color sport utility vehicle (possibly a Dodge Journey 2009-2020 or Chrysler Pacifica 2004-2008), like the one pictured
