Police in Butte request public assistance after fatal pedestrian incident
The Butte police are looking into a tragic incident where a pedestrian was fatally hit by a vehicle at the intersection of Locust and Garfield Streets in Butte, Montana early Wednesday morning. The victim, a 38-year-old man, was declared dead at the scene by medical personnel after being struck by a southbound vehicle on Garfield Street, which did not stop and is described as dark in color. The suspect vehicle continued southbound before turning west onto Grand Avenue, and both the vehicle and its driver are currently at large. Butte police are working with the Montana Highway Patrol and the Butte-Silver Bow Coroner’s office to investigate the case and are seeking witnesses, especially those with home security cameras that may have footage of the incident. The deceased has been sent to the Montana State Crime Lab for an autopsy, and efforts are being made to notify his family. Authorities ask anyone with information to contact the Butte-Silver Bow Law Enforcement Department at 406-497-1120. This incident marks the second pedestrian fatality in Montana this past weekend, following the death of a 65-year-old man in Box Elder who was also struck by a vehicle.
