According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), a white vehicle – possibly a sports car – struck and killed a UC Berkeley student on Highway 113 on Jan. 21.

A car with a front end a little bit low to the ground hit 21-year-old Vladimir Debabov before fleeing the scene, Woodland CHP Officer Bryan Konvalin told the Sacramento Bee. Konvalin said the car will have moderate to major damage to the front with possible roof damage. The suspect’s vehicle description is based on the injuries to the victim’s body.

Debabov was reportedly walking in the traffic lanes of Highway 113 north of County Road 29 when he was hit by the vehicle around 3:50 a.m.

Those with information on the incident can call the Woodland CHP office at (530) 662-4685 or the CHP’s Sacramento Communication Center at (916) 861-1300.
