The major collision unit is investigating the fatal crash and police say they don't yet have a description of the vehicle that left the scene.

Autopsy results are expected as early as Wednesday morning, Pattenden said earlier Tuesday.

Investigators are asking anyone with information about what happened to call police.

"We believe people were in the area and saw what happened," Pattenden said. "We'd also like to speak with anyone who was in contact with Adam over the last three days."
