Investigators are still working to find the driver involved in a fatal Colbert County hit-and-run that killed a Town Creek man. Evidence now shows that driver may have been behind the wheel of a Volkswagen Jetta, they say.
The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency announced Monday that investigators believe the vehicle is a 2015-2018 model.Â
The vehicle and driver allegedly left the scene after striking and killing 29-year-old Corey D. Maxwell at about 2:15 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 5. It happened on Alabama 184, about 3 miles east of Muscle Shoals.
Family and friends say Maxwell, a father of two, was struck on his left side while possibly on his way to his mother's house. His body was found by a couple who didn't know him but waited at the scene until state troopers arrived to begin investigating.Â
