Initial reports indicated that Lawler was walking along State Route 94 within the traffic lanes. An Audi A4 approached him on the highway and, at approximately 10:55 p.m., struck Lawler. The force from the impact knocked the pedestrian down, several feet from the car. The driver of the Audi got out of the vehicle and ran away on foot, officers reported.
