Still no driver charged in hit-and-run crash that killed Norfolk man
Posted on Nov 30, 2009
One year ago Michael Hill, 47, was killed when his Honda Passport was hit by a stolen Infiniti that ran a stop sign at 55mph near West 25th Street and Colonial Avenue. Hill was hit on his way to the grocery store by three people in the Infiniti, all of whom ran from the scene after their vehicle crashed.
The Infiniti occupants did not call for help nor did they check on Hill, who was left to die. One year later, two of the three people from the stolen Infiniti have been identified, but neither was charged as the driver and the third person has not been found.
Several months after the incident two people were charged in relation to the crash. A 21 year old Norfolk man, Doncelle McClendon and a 17 year old girl both pleaded guilty to hit-and-run charges.
McClendon was sentenced to 16 months in jail, with three years suspended. The teenage girl was tried as a juvenile and was sentenced to one month in jail with 11 months suspended.
McClendon will be out of jail in April, and the teen is already free. Neither McClendon nor the teen were charged as the driver of the car that killed Hill, and neither was charged with stealing the Infiniti.
Hill’s family is struggling with the lack of closure and frustration that the third vehicle occupant was not identified nor was anyone held accountable for Hill’s tragic and untimely death.
