Friday marks two years since the hit-and-run that took the life of 89-year-old Eugenia Yurovsky in West Hartford and police are asking anyone who has information that could help solve the case to come forward.

The West Hartford resident was walking in the area of Boulevard and Whiting Lane when she was struck on Dec. 20, 2022.

So far, no arrests have been made yet, but a $26,000 reward is being offered for any information leading to an arrest or conviction.

The West Hartford Rotary Club donated $1,000 to the reward and says while they didn’t know Yurovsky personally, helping get justice for her is the least they can do.

“I think we all just felt it very deeply that she's still one of us. She's still someone from West Hartford. She's still someone that was here even though we still don't know who she really is,” Diane Barber, president of the West Hartford Rotary Club, said.

In the days after the crash, police said evidence suggested that a 2010 to 2015 GMC-type vehicle might have been involved.

If you have information, call the West Hartford Police Department at (860) 523-5203.
