CHP Seeks Public’s Help to Locate Vehicle in Fatal Hit-and-Run Monday Night on Phelan Road

PHELAN, California — The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is seeking assistance from the public to locate a vehicle involved in a fatal hit-and-run on Monday night in Phelan.

On September 16, 2024, at around 7:40 pm, a 65-year-old woman using a walker was walking from the north shoulder of Phelan Road, just east of Buttemere Road.

An unidentified driver, possibly operating a white 2009-2010 Kia Sportage, was traveling eastbound on Phelan Road, east of Buttemere Road, at an unknown speed.

According to CHP officials, the pedestrian was crossing Phelan Road in a southerly direction within the eastbound lane when the vehicle struck her on the right side. The impact propelled her to the south shoulder where she came to rest.

“Evidence found at the scene indicated that the suspect vehicle pulled over to the south shoulder, and the occupants removed and discarded the woman’s walker before fleeing,” stated CHP officials.

The San Bernardino County Coroner identified the deceased woman as Cynthia R. Moss, a resident of Phelan.

At this time, there is no positive identification of the vehicle or the driver involved. The California Highway Patrol, Victorville Area, is asking for public help in identifying the vehicle and suspects. The vehicle may have significant right front end damage.

This incident is under investigation by Officer J. Jarvis of the California Highway Patrol, Victorville Area office. It is unknown whether alcohol or drugs were factors in the collision. Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to call the Victorville CHP office at (760) 241-1186.
