Detroit Police have released a photo of the suspect and the vehicle she was allegedly driving when she lost control and killed an 83-year-old man on Evergreen. The elderly man was unloading groceries when he was fatally struck.

Police said the driver allegedly lost control after accelerating past a DDOT bus. When she tried to get back into the lane, the suspect hit a tree and jumped a curb. The car flipped over and landed on top of the victim.

The wife of the deceased man said she saw the accident happen, and said her brother tried pulling her husband out from under the wreck. Unfortunately, it was too late.

"He was a very nice person, and everybody liked him," said Charlene Brewer, his wife. "I know he misses me right now. I know he's worried about me."

Arthur was a father of two, a loving husband and a retired GM worker.

After the suspect crashed, police say she and the child got out of the car and into a black Chevy Trailblazer that was driving behind them and fled, going east on Grand River, then north on Plainview.
