A driver in a hit-and-run crash that killed a man last month said he didn't stop because he had been drinking underage before striking the victim on I-94 in Ypsilanti Township.

A 39-year-old Vassar woman who was in the front seat was killed, while the driver suffered serious injuries.

The crash remains under investigation, but police believe alcohol was a factor.
