Police seeking driver in fatal Taylorsville hit-and-run

Police were looking Sunday for a driver who hit and killed a pedestrian in Taylorsville, then fled the scene.

The victim was identified as 60-year-old Douglas Chavis, of Taylorsville, who was struck about 10:24 p.m. Saturday at 4774 S. Redwood Road, according to a Unified Police Department news release.

Chavis was crossing Redwood Road from east to west when he was hit by a 2001 white Chevrolet Malibu being driven north by a young woman with dark hair. The woman stopped for a short time, then drove north and turned west onto 4700 South before police arrived, the release says.
