A man died in a crash early Saturday morning on Cleveland's east side and the other driver involved in the incident ran from the scene, authorities have confirmed.
The victim was identified as 45-year-old Dion L. Liddell.
The crash happened around 2:41 a.m. near East 124th Street and St. Clair Avenue. A 2008 Dodge Charger traveling southbound on St. Clair Avenue struck a 2014 Nissan Versa exiting a parking lot, according to police.
