OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - Police have seized a car they believe was involved in a hit-and-run that killed a Shelby Township man on New Year's Day, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office announced Thursday.
According to police, they found a white BMW 3-Series sedan not far from the scene of the crash, which happened near Rochester Road and Whims Lane in Oakland Township.
Investigators say the vehicle involved would have likely sustained damage to its hood and front bumper and was missing the right front grille and part of the left front grille.

The investigation is ongoing.
The crash happened at about 5:49 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 1. The victim, Benjamin Kable, was pronounced dead at the scene.
