Car Crash in Colonie Kills Man Lying in Road

Police say they are now looking for a Mazda 6 with front end damage. They think the driver of that car took off and left the victim in the road.

When the second car hit the victim, that is when police were called. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say they figured out a second car was involved when the snow started melting, which revealed broken pieces from the first car.

Colonie police say the second driver was not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol and did the right thing by calling police.
