Police say they’re looking for a a tractor-trailer with a possibly white or silver trailer and likely damage to its passenger side, including a potentially damaged fuel tank.

With that kind of description, it has to be just a matter of time before someone can identify the truck involved here. A ruptured fuel tank is especially identifiable if the truck driver returned to an employer or took the truck to a repair shop. Oftentimes, these situations are resolved thanks to vigilant members of the community. I remain hopeful the same will happen here so long as these details stay in the public eye.
