DALLAS, TX – A man died Sunday when a vehicle struck him at a busy intersection in northeast Dallas before fleeing the scene, reports Fox 4 KDFW.

The accident happened around 10 p.m. at the intersection of Abrams Road and East Northwest Highway, which runs through the east side of the Medallion Shopping Center.
