Namie Stewart has been identified by authorities as the victim in an alleged hit-and-run pedestrian collision that occurred on October 22 in Fairfield. Ms. Stewart, an 81-year-old local resident, was crossing at the intersection of Cement Hill and Laurel Creek Park prior to 11:00 p.m. when struck in the crosswalk by a vehicle that authorities say continued driving without stopping to help the elderly victim. The woman was taken for treatment with serious injuries by first responders but tragically died from her injuries. An investigation into the deadly crash continues.
