State police looking for car in fatal hit-and-run on I-81

Pennsylvania state police are looking for the driver of a gray Hyundai Accent involved in a fatal hit-and-run on the ramp to Interstate 81 in Hazle Township early Saturday morning.

Police said the incident occurred at 1:15 a.m. at mile marker 142.3. The car entered Interstate 81 North from Route 924 and struck and killed a construction worker.

Kevin Dendulk, 30, was hit shortly before 1:30 a.m. Saturday in Hazle Township and didn’t stop, continuing to travel in the closed right lane of I-81 north, police said.

A deputy county coroner pronounced the Royersford resident dead at the scene less than an hour later, police said.

The sedan, believed to be a 2000 to 2009 model, will have heavy damage to the passenger side and is missing a side mirror.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact the Pennsylvania State Police at Hazleton at (570) 459-3890
