Police continue to seek information on Fatal Hit & Run
DeSoto police have identified 22-year-old Dallas resident Samuel Stroggins as the man who was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver Tuesday morning, July 11, on I-35 E near Wintergreen Road. Stroggins, who lived near the scene of the crash, was struck by a black 2007-2009 Lexus ES350 sedan between 3 and 4 a.m. Tuesday while walking on or trying to cross the highway.
The driver who hit Samuel Stroggins fled the scene of the accident without rendering aid or contacting the police. It wasn’t until 4 a.m. Tuesday when DeSoto police received a report of a person lying on the ground in the 2100 block of I-35E near the Wintergreen exit ramp that Stroggins was located and pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin have been notified.
The black Lexus sedan that fled the scene and traveled southbound on I-35 E likely had damage to the front passenger bumper, headlight, hood and possibly the windshield. DeSoto police are asking that anyone who witnessed the crash or has information regarding the driver or vehicle to contact the lead investigator, Corporal Krekel of the DPD Traffic Section, at (469) 658 -3049 or PKrekel@desototexas.gov.
