An 83-year-old pedestrian died after a hit-and-run crash near St. Paul’s Lake Phalen and police asked for the general public’s help Monday to search out the driving force.
Officers were called just after 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, after a motorist got here upon a person lying unconscious within the road near Arlington Avenue and McAfee Street. St. Paul Fire medics took John Bidon to Regions Hospital, where he died that night, said Sgt. Mike Ernster, a St. Paul police spokesman.
The Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s Office determined Bidon died from injuries consistent with being struck by a vehicle, Ernster said.
Bidon lived near the intersection where he was found.
“St. Paul, we want your help bringing justice to this case for John’s family,” police posted on social media Monday.
They’re asking anyone with information to call Sgt. Jason Neubrand at 651-266-5722.
