LEVITTOWN, Pa. - Police say they are looking for the hit-and-run driver who struck and killed a man in Bucks County.
It happened around 12:30 a.m. Sunday along New Falls Road at Holly Drive in Levittown.
Bristol Township police had been looking for what they believed to be a dark-colored Audi used in the fatal hit-and-run, and early Monday morning they reported that they had located it.
Investigators found the black Audi at 12:30 a.m. inside a storage locker at Planet Self Storage in Fairless Hills, a few miles from the crash scene.
Police said they got multiple tips about where the car was hidden, and it's now in a police impound garage.
No arrests have been reported.
Police said they cannot, at this point, say with certainty who the driver of the vehicle was at the time of the crash. Part of the problem is that the Audi was recently sold, and the buyer has yet to switch the title over to his or her name.
Police hope to learn from the storage contract who actually rented the space where the car was stashed.
The hit-and-run victim, 36-year-old Eric Beck, had just left a party when he called his mother for a ride home.
Beck was walking to a nearby Walgreens to meet his mother when he was hit.
She talked Sunday about the agonizing ordeal of watching her son die right before her eyes.
"The next thing I know is I see these cars all over," said the mother, Michelle Beck. "I went to see what was going on, I pulled over and I found him, and he was still conscious. He said, 'Mom, just hold my hand and squeeze my hand, give me a squeeze.' And that was it."
The grief-stricken mother is now pleading for the driver who killed her son to surrender to police.
If you have any information about this case, please call Levittown police.
