Navajo Police Department on Facebook

Authorities on the Navajo Nation are looking to the public for information on a deadly hit-and-run on the New Mexico side of the reservation. 

A motorist found an injured, 71-year-old man sitting alongside a rural road in Pinedale on Jan. 23. 
Police say the man told the motorist he was hit by a vehicle before dawn but couldn't provide any more information.

The man was transported to a local hospital where he died from his injuries.

A spokeswoman for the Navajo Police Department says the man has been identified, but his name wasn't being released.
