A little over a week ago in the night, a person driving a pickup struck and killed a person walking along Chemawa Road. They did not stop to render aid, and fled the crash. Police appear to be investigating it as a hit-and-run.
From Salem PD earlier in June and with an update today:
Salem Police officers have initiated a death investigation after a person was located deceased in the roadway just before 5:00 a.m. today, June 17.
Witnesses reported finding a deceased man in the road on Chemawa RD NE west of the intersection at Portland RD NE. The deceased individual is identified as 21-year-old Michael Scott Campos-Kegley.
The investigators are working all available leads, and no further details about this case are being released at this time.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Salem Police Tips Line at 503-588-8477.
Update 06/26/2023
An update from the Salem Police Traffic Team’s investigation into the death of Mr. Campos-Kegley reveals he was struck by a vehicle while traveling along Chewama RD just west of Portland RD NE in the early morning hours of June 17.
Investigators are searching for a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado which is missing the covering to its passenger-side mirror and has some damage to the passenger-side, headlight assembly. The color of the truck is unknown.
Investigators would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have seen the collision or has information about the case. Please call the Salem Police Traffic Team directly at 503-588-6293.

Isn't this portion of Chemawa rd where they want to widen to 4 lanes the entire way from Portland Rd to the I-5 interchange?
Salem Reporter has an update, saying "A driver had struck him as he [Michael Scott Campos-Kegley] was skateboarding to work and fled, the officer said. He was then hit by another driver who stopped." They also have details on a lack of transparency again by Salem Police.
