TULSA, OK -- Tulsa Police have released a picture of a pickup truck similar to one which witnesses say was involved in a hit and run crash on Saturday which killed a 91-year-old man.

The man, Olin Lewis was pronounced dead at a Tulsa hospital following the crash Saturday afternoon.

Detectives believe that the suspect was driving a white 80's to 90's model small Isuzu truck. [A picture released by Tulsa Police shows a black Isuzu truck.]  

The suspect's vehicle will have front-end damage

The crash happened at about 2 p.m. on northbound U.S. Highway 169 at Admiral, where two lanes merge.

Officers say Lewis was on his motor scooter and was slowing down for construction, but the pickup truck behind him didn't. The pickup truck came up behind Lewis and knocked him off his bike.

Officers say the pickup then drove away, and U.S. Highway 169 at Admiral was down to one lane as emergency workers responded to the scene.

Lewis was transported to a Tulsa hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 596-COPS.
