Portage police looking for dark blue GMC Yukon in connection with fatal hit-and-run

PORTAGE — Police are looking for a dark blue GMC Yukon in connection with a hit-and-run early Monday that left an 18-year-old man dead.

Joseph Bonner, of Portage, was found about 1:30 a.m. laying on Hamstrom Road, just south of the intersection with Interstate 80/90, officials said.

Bonner was pronounced dead at the scene from blunt force injuries, Porter County Coroner Chuck Harris said.

Portage police were dispatched to the area for a report of someone laying in the road. 

It's believed Bonner was walking north on Hamstrom Road from the Speedway gas station on Central Avenue to his residence, Harris said. The vehicle that struck him fled.

Police said they're looking for a dark blue GMC Yukon made between 2007 and 2014. The vehicle is missing a passenger side headlight assembly and may have side bumper damage.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Cpl. Dave Czilli at 219-764-5708.
