CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - A person was hit by a car and killed Tuesday night in a hit-and-run south Charlotte, police report.

At around 9:40 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 10, police reported that a pedestrian was hit by a vehicle, and that the vehicle drove away. The crash happened in the area of Nations Ford Road and Colony Acres Drive, just north of East Arrowood Road, police said.
