A 24-year-old Norwegian man, Joachim Lanham, who is documenting a journey rollerblading across the United States, dies after being struck in a hit-and-run in Kansas, police say. The accounts report that Lanham is rollerblading when he is hit by a driver in an SUV and does not receive immediate assistance from the driver.
Police identify the driver as an 82-year-old woman. Both outlets describe the incident as a hit-and-run and report that the driver is alleged to have left the scene. While one outlet emphasizes that the driver did not stop to check on him, the other focuses on the age of the driver and the location in Kansas. In both reports, the central points are Lanham’s death, the driver’s age, and that authorities describe the case as a hit-and-run.
