Police have released video footage of two vehicles involved in a back-to-back hit-and-run crash that killed a man crossing a Northwest D.C. street last week.
Police said 52-year-old Joseph Robinson was walking in the roadway heading north on New Jersey Avenue NW, near the intersection with New York Avenue NW, at 8:22 p.m. on March 17.

Their drivers took off after hitting Robinson. He was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Detectives with the Metropolitan Police Department’s Major Crash Investigations Unit are investigating.
