Oregon State Police have released a possible photo of the vehicle involved in a fatal hit-and-run crash in Hermiston in August.

The crash took place Aug. 31 about 2:30 a.m. on Highway 395 near Sherrell Chevrolet, killing Antonia Cobarubias, 41, of Hermiston as she was pushing a shopping cart. Left behind at the scene was a passenger-side mirror and a dark red bumper that appeared to belong to an Acura Integra from between 1994-2001.

On Thursday afternoon, OSP released two stills from a security camera that they believe show the vehicle in question in the parking lot of Rocket Mart, which is just north of the crash site.

They are requesting that anyone who can identify the vehicle or was in the area of Rocket Mart on Aug. 31 about 2:30 a.m. call Oregon State Police by dialing *OSP (*677). They can reference case number SP19-313012.

The victim’s family is offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to the driver’s conviction.
