BETHLEHEM TWP., Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – Nearly four months later, the Canton post of the state patrol still has little to go on as they try to identify and locate a suspect vehicle.

That vehicle was involved in a deadly hit-and-run crash in Bethlehem Township.

But they’re asking for your help, as they investigate the death of 79-year-old Gregory Cutcher of Bethlehem Township.

He was killed on Hudson Drive SW just east of Beth Avenue back on the night of May 23.

Two others were injured.

The three were checking out a fallen tree on Hudson Drive when a vehicle ran into the tree, which in turn struck the trio.

Cutcher died from his injuries at the hospital five days later.

Here’s more from the state patrol:

The vehicle involved is believed to be a small, light-colored fourdoor sedan or SUV, possibly white, silver, or gray. At this time, no further vehicle description is available.

Troopers have continued to pursue all investigative leads, including reviewing video footage, interviewing witnesses, examining debris at the scene, and conducting checks of the area.

The Patrol is now seeking additional assistance from the public.

Anyone who may have witnessed the crash, observed the involved vehicle in the area, or has any information about the vehicle or its occupants is encouraged to contact the Ohio State Highway Patrol Canton Post at (330) 433-6200.

Information provided by the public may be critical in helping investigators identify the vehicle and the driver involved in this tragic incident.
