A student was killed in a hit-and-run car crash early Saturday morning on North Euclid Avenue and East Mabel Street.

Colin Rodriguez Griswold, 25, a philosophy doctoral student, was driving a 1994 Mazda Protégé with one passenger when a white 1986 Plymouth Reliant hit the driver's side of his vehicle around 12:40 a.m., said Michelle Pickrom, a spokeswoman for Tucson Police Department.

Griswold was pronounced dead on the scene, reports stated.

The 22-year-old passenger in Griswold's car, whose name cannot be released because of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA), was taken to a hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries, Pickrom said. HIPPA laws, which have been in effect for a year, prevent a patient's medical status from being released.

The driver who hit Griswold's car is suspected to be Kristjan Lee Haley, a 22-year-old Tucson resident, who is wanted for felony murder and leaving the scene of a fatal accident, a TPD media release stated.

Witnesses said they saw the driver get out of his car after the accident and flee the scene, reports stated.

Police describe him as a white male, about 6 feet tall and 165 lbs, Pickrom said.

Police said that before the accident, they saw the driver of the white Plymouth and tried to stop him after running a red light on North Drachman Street and North Stone Avenue, but they stopped because he entered a residential area and police feared a collision, reports stated.

Police are still looking for Haley or anyone with information relating to the crime. They are asking that anyone with information contact 88-CRIME, an anonymous crime-tip hotline.
