MILLCREEK, Utah — The family of a young woman killed in a hit-and-run earlier this weekend is speaking out.
Unified Police are moving quickly to locate and identify the suspect, going door to door looking for surveillance footage. Meanwhile, 20-year-old Lindsey VanOrman’s family is grieving her loss and asking for the community’s help.
“My heart’s broken right now,” said Justin Nypower, a cousin to VanOrman. “She was sweet, the sweetest person you could meet.”
Her love for animals
Just before 6 a.m. Saturday, VanOrman was stopped at 2300 E. 3051 South to help an injured cat.
“It doesn’t surprise me at all she loves animals,” Nypower said.
That’s when VanOrman was hit by a truck, silver or white in color, with a rack on the back.

“Based on the footage you are able to tell that person stopped and then sped off shortly after,” said Sgt. Aymee Race with the Unified Police Department.
On Sunday, police released new footage in hopes of locating the hit and run driver. The footage shows the suspect vehicle trave northbound from the scene to Fisher Lane where they headed westbound.
