OSP Investigating Fatal Hit-and-Run in Josephine County

Selma, Oregon- Oregon State Police are investigating a fatal hit-and-run crash that left a Selma man dead late last month.

At about 8:46 p.m. on Sept. 30, troopers responded to a report of a person lying in the roadway in the 100 block of Hogue Drive in Selma, according to OSP. When officers arrived, they determined that the individual had been struck by a vehicle that had left the scene.

The victim, identified as 62-year-old Ray Arnold Wilder of Selma, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives interviewed witnesses who reported seeing a red truck and a white Toyota 4Runner—or a similar vehicle with a black canopy—speeding away from the area around the time of the crash. Witnesses said the vehicles reportedly drove past the scene again several minutes later.

Investigators believe the suspect vehicle may have front-end damage and a broken windshield.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the OSP Southern Command Center dispatch at 800-442-2068 or dial *OSP (*677) from a mobile phone. Callers should reference case number SP25-422785.

The investigation remains ongoing.
