WASHINGTON, D.C. — A Germantown man has died following a hit and run crash involving a stolen vehicle early Sunday in Northwest Washington, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Around 3:30 a.m. on May 11, officers were called to the intersection of 7th Street and New York Avenue NW for a reported collision. Investigators determined that a white 2017 Infiniti QX60, reported stolen, was traveling northbound on 7th Street when it struck a motor-driven cycle at the intersection.
The occupants of the Infiniti fled the scene on foot after the crash. The moped operator, later identified as 24-year-old Jose Carlos Vilchez Bobbio of Germantown, Maryland, was found unconscious and transported to a hospital.
Vilchez Bobbio died on Monday, May 12, after lifesaving efforts were unsuccessful. No arrests have been announced in the case.
