ASU alumnus Daniel Pollack was killed in an alleged hit-and-run early Sunday morning in Scottsdale.
Pollack was pronounced dead after being taken to Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn Medical Center, according to a press release by the Scottsdale Police Department.
Witnesses told police that Pollack, 31, was seen standing approximately 450 feet north of the intersection of North Hayden and East Thomas roads in the striped median lane, according to the press release.
Scottsdale police reported witnesses saw a silver pickup truck, possibly a Chevy Silverado, traveling southbound on Hayden Road when the incident occurred.
The truck continued to drive away after hitting Pollack at 1:15 a.m., according to the release.
In a letter to the media, Pollack’s father and CEO of Pollack Real Estate Investments, Michael Pollack, encouraged anyone with information pertaining to the tragedy to aid in the prosecution.
“We encourage anyone who may have any information about what happened on Hayden Road, to please call authorities,” Michael said.
Pollack worked for his father in Scottsdale at the Pollack Real Estate Investments as a real estate agent and licensed broker.
“He was a wonderful son and a wonderful part of our family and team at Pollack Real Estate Investments,” Michael said.
