Connecticut State Police are working to identify the pick-up truck driver who fled the scene of a fatal crash in Hebron on Sunday.

Emergency crews were called to a crash involving two vehicles on Millstream Road and Kinney Road shortly after midnight. LifeStar was also called to the scene.

State police said 65-year-old Karen Taylor, of Mansfield Depot, was traveling eastbound on Kinney Road around midnight when she entered the intersection to make a left turn onto Millstream Road.

A pick-up truck that was traveling southbound on Millstream Road ignored a stop sign, entered the intersection and hit the left side of Taylor's vehicle, according to troopers.

Firefighters said she was ejected from the vehicle and was suffering from cardiac arrest. Taylor was later pronounced dead.

Authorities said the driver of the pick-up truck fled the scene on foot and their identity is not known at this time.

The investigation is ongoing.
