WESTLAND, Mich. – A witness has come forward with shocking details about the hit-and-run accident that killed a woman in Westland on Monday night.
A witness who saw the accident told Westland Police that Marcia Japowicz, 53, was hit by a burgundy or red Chrysler Pacifica driven by a white man in his 50s with a gray mustache and neatly trimmed beard.
The driver and the witness approached the victim to check on her when she was run over by another car. The witness stated that the Pacifica driver looked at the witness, shrugged, got back into his car and drove away.
