KANSAS CITY (AP) — Authorities have identified the victim of a fatal hit-and-run crash who was left lying on the side of a street for more than 48 hours before he was found.

Police said Thursday that 24-year-old Deyonta Tenner was the person killed Dec. 18 when a speeding vehicle left the roadway and struck a pedestrian. But it wasn’t until around 9 a.m. Sunday that someone called authorities to report the body near the road.

Police have released photos of the vehicle believed to be involved.
