Leavenworth police are looking into a hit-and-run incident that left a man injured last week, seeking information from the public.
Chad Taylor, 55, was at home with his wife when he slipped while trying to get a car out of the snow. Unfortunately, a passing car ran over his leg and took off. His friend, Kyle, shared how generous Chad was, always ready to help others.
Chad was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, including a broken ankle and leg. He was sent home to wait for swelling to go down but tragically passed away two days later.
Chad was a devoted father, husband, and Navy veteran. His friend set up a GoFundMe to help his wife with funeral expenses.
The police are reviewing security footage but haven’t found any leads yet. They believe the vehicle involved was dark-colored, possibly a small hatchback or crossover. Witnesses mentioned the driver might have been a woman, but that’s not confirmed yet.
Authorities are waiting for an autopsy report to determine the exact cause of Chad’s death. They’re looking into whether it could be related to the accident.
Chad’s loved ones want justice. They feel it’s crucial for the driver to be held accountable for leaving the scene. The police are urging anyone with information or video footage from that evening to come forward.
If you know anything about this incident, please reach out to the Leavenworth Police Department or call their hotline. Your help could make a difference.
