McKayla Roberts, 27, died on January 2, 2022, after a violent hit-and-run on Interstate 20 near Irondale, Alabama. Reportedly from Charleston, South Carolina, she was on foot in the westbound travel lanes between the Grants Mill Road and Old Leeds Road exits that Sunday evening when a vehicle struck her and did not stop. The impact was fatal.

Authorities appealed to the public after the driver fled. Investigators later indicated the vehicle involved was believed to be a Dodge Journey, but no name has been publicly tied to the case and no arrest, charge, prosecution, or conviction has been reported. The driver’s identity remains the central unanswered question in this roadside killing.

If anyone has information about that stretch of I-20 on the evening of January 2, 2022, or recalls seeing a Dodge Journey in the area, please come forward with tips.
