Man killed in hit-and-run in Litchfield Park identified; Sheriff's Office seeks tips
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is searching for more information related to a fatal hit-and-run in Litchfield Park on Friday and is asking for tips connected to the case.
Right before 9:30 p.m. Friday, a dark-colored pickup truck possibly ran over a downed motorcyclist, who before the collision was lying in the roadway.
The motorcyclist was initially involved in a single-vehicle collision, where evidence suggested the victim struck a road construction sign, lost control of the motorcycle and was ejected, according to witnesses.
The motorcyclist, later identified as Brian Disney, 54, was pronounced dead, according to Sgt. Monica Bretado. The timing and location of Disney's death have not been released.
Witnesses said the possible "run vehicle" ran over Disney while he was lying in the northbound lanes on Dysart Road before Rose Lane and continued north on Dysart Road without stopping at the scene or calling police.
It remained an ongoing investigation, the Sheriff's Office said.
Anyone with information was asked to contact the Sheriff's Office at 602-876-TIPS (8477) or 602-876-1011. Reference MCSO Incident Report 23-013061.
