Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the driver of a pickup truck that struck and killed a man in his 60s in Lake Forest and fled the scene.
The Lake Forest Police Department and Lake Forest Fire Department responded around 10:47 a.m. Thursday to 500 block of North Mayflower Road for a report of a vehicle crash.
Officers found a pedestrian who had been struck by a vehicle near the intersection of North Mayflower Road and Rosemary Road.
The suspect vehicle, identified as a white two-door Ford F-150 pickup truck, fled the scene southbound on Mayflower Road.

The truck’s passenger-side mirror fell off during the impact and landed on the grass alongside the road, Zelk said.
