At 9:34 p.m. on Sunday May 26, 2002 ten-year-old Amber Miller was struck and killed while crossing the 500 block of Sixth St. in Findlay, with her foot scooter. Several witnesses to the accident described the hit-skip vehicle to police. The vehicle was described as an older model, box style pick-up truck, possibly a Ford or Chevy, full size (half ton) possibly dark blue or black. It may have side molding or a stripe on the lower portion of the cab area. Amber was struck by the right front of the pick-up truck, which was traveling eastbound on Sixth St. The vehicle fled the scene, still eastbound on Sixth St. after the accident.
