COVENTRY TWP.: Authorities say they have identified the driver who struck a pedestrian early Sunday morning along South Main Street and left the scene.
But the Summit County Sheriff’s Office declined Friday morning to name the motorist, saying that the case is being reviewed with prosecutors to see whether or not charges will be filed.
Jerimiah Coffield, 25, of Coventry Township, died Wednesday at Cleveland Clinic Akron General from injuries sustained in the accident. He was struck at about 3:30 a.m. on South Main near North Turkeyfoot Road.
