According to police, the victim of Saturday night’s fatal hit-and-run in Wellfleet has been identified as 24-year-old Timothy Duval, an Army veteran from Tallahassee, Florida. Timothy was married and the father of a 3-year-old son.

Just after 11:30 p.m., the Wellfleet Police and Fire Departments were dispatched to Ocean View Drive in the area of Long Pond Road for a report of a pedestrian lying in the roadway.

Based on the location of some of the injuries, the suspect vehicle is believed to be a pickup truck or SUV. 

The State Medical Examiner’s Office, the Cape Cod Regional Law Enforcement Council Crash Reconstruction Team, and the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office are assisting with the investigation.
