Police spent a week trying to track down the motorist who is alleged to have fatally struck a man with their vehicle and drove off. When they arrested the driver, her response to why she allegedly left the man for dead was nothing short of disappointing.

The evening of June 9, Mt. Morris Township, Michigan police said 26-year-old Sebastian Klein was found laying on the south side of Kelly Road. His family told Mid-Michigan Now he was walking to McDonald’s when he was struck. Paramedics declared him dead at the scene.

“It just felt like the floor got ripped from underneath me like my life is so it’s very changed now. It’ll be changed forever,” Mary Cross, Klein’s friend, toldMid-Michigan Now after authorities told her and Klein’s family what happened.

Police said they recovered a passenger side mirror from the scene. They later matched the vehicle part to a manufacturing number that brought them to their next clue: the type of vehicle that struck Klein, per WNEM. The report says after reviewing surveillance cameras and noticing a Jeep missing a side mirror, police located the suspected vehicle in the parking lot of a nursing home near Flushing on June 12.
