Missouri authorities have identified suspect in May car crash

(AP) – Missouri authorities say they’ve identified a person of interest in a hit-and-run crash last month that killed a 21-year-old student teacher. Missouri State Highway Patrol Sgt. Mike McClure says he could not give any details about the suspect. The Springfield News-Leader reports that the person has not been arrested yet and charges have not yet been filed. Mercedes Luna died on the morning of May 7 in a car crash that investigators say involved a FedEx truck and a wrong-way driver who fled the scene. Luna was a student teacher with the Logan-Rogersville school district. The crash happened just before 8 a.m. on Missouri Route 125 near Rogersville.
