Driver in Deadly Hit-and-Run Still Sought
The driver of a fatal hit-and-run in Aiken County earlier this week is still being sought.
The South Carolina Highway Patrol responded to the scene Monday on I-20 eastbound at mile marker 25.
Fifty-eight-year-old Tanya Rogers of Augusta was hit by an SUV at 5:40 p.m. after she exited her vehicle on the shoulder of the interstate. Authorities say the driver that hit her never stopped.
Investigators think the vehicle that hit Rogers was a white 2007-2012 Nissan Pathfinder, or a 2007 to 2015 Nissan Xterra. The vehicle is missing the passenger-side mirror. There could also be damage to the right side of the vehicle.
If you have any information that could help with the investigation, contact the South Carolina Highway Patrol.
