While driving through the intersection, the man hit the victim who was in the crosswalk on the south side of Camelback Road. The victim died at the scene.
As the suspect continued to drive, police said, he struck a westbound car occupied by two women before crashing into a bus stop just north of Camelback Road on 59th Avenue.
The driver was seen running from the scene while a woman passenger stayed in the truck. She suffered from serious non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital for follow up care, police said.
