Fatal hit-and-run investigation still ongoing

By Scott Harvey

Hunt County – The search continues for the driver who reportedly struck and killed a Farmersville man as he stood along the side of Interstate 30.

Charles William Sleeman was killed Sunday evening when he exited his pickup truck near the 97 mile marker to check on a vehicle he was towing and then was hit by a passing car.

The vehicle struck Sleeman but did not stop, and authorities believe the driver may not have realized that they hit someone.

The hit-and-run driver's vehicle is described as a white or light-colored truck and box trailer.

Anyone with information is asked call Sgt. Monty Posey in the Greenville Highway Patrol office at 903-453-6900.
