The 25-year-old man who was struck and killed in a hit-and-run crash on Cape Cod Saturday night has been identified as Tallahassee, Florida, resident Timothy Duval — a U.S. Army veteran, husband and father of a 3-year-old son.
Duval was vacationing on Cape Cod and had been spending the evening with a group of friends prior to the fatal crash, Wellfleet police said in a Monday press release.
Police and firefighters responded to Ocean View Drive in the area of Long Pond Road in Wellfleet shortly before 11:40 p.m. for a report of a pedestrian lying in the roadway, police said previously. At the scene, they discovered Duval’s body lying in the road.
Duval appeared to have been hit by a vehicle, police said. Firefighters tried to revive him, but he was declared dead at the scene.
The vehicle involved in the crash is believed to be a pickup truck or SUV, police said. It fled the scene and likely now has front-end damage.
Officers have followed up on many leads in the case, but so far, no arrests have been made, police said. The State Medical Examiner’s Office, the Cape Cod Regional Law Enforcement Council Crash Reconstruction Team and the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office are assisting with the investigation.
“Investigators are urging members of the public, including residents, homeowners, and business owners in the area, to come forward with any information that may assist in the case,” police wrote in the release. “Surveillance footage, dashcam videos, or eyewitness accounts from the night of the incident could prove crucial in determining what happened and identifying those responsible.”
Anyone with information about the crash is urged to contact Detective Michael Allen of the Wellfleet Police Department at 508-349-3702.
