The suspect and her vehicle were later found at a Days Inn in Amherst.

An indictment has been filed against Lynda Wright, 53, of Grafton, in connection with a fatal hit-and-run incident that occurred earlier this year, as per records from Lorain County Common Pleas Court.

The court records, which are dated May 2, show the indictment includes the following counts:

  • Failure to stop after an accident
  • Tampering with evidence
  • Vehicular homicide

The incident took place on Feb. 8 in the 1400 block of Cooper Foster Park Road in Lorain, where a male pedestrian was struck by a vehicle.

Police say he died at the scene.

Following a thorough examination of evidence at the scene, it was determined that the vehicle involved in the crash was a white Subaru Legacy, according to a press release issued by the Lorain Police Department after the February incident. With the help of the Amherst Police Department, a potential suspect vehicle was identified.
