A Roman Catholic nun was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver on Monday night in Water Mill, and police have identified the suspected driver and are actively trying to track him down.
The nun, Sister Jacqueline Walsh, 59, was walking along the side of Rose Hill Road, a short distance from a Sisters of Mercy retreat house, where she had come for a religious retreat, at about 8:30 p.m., when she was struck by a 2009 Volkswagen Touareg, Southampton Town Police said. The driver—police have reportedly identified him but have not released his name—ditched the Volkswagen about a half mile from the accident scene, police said.
As of Wednesday morning, police had yet to make an arrest, but the driver has been identified as a local resident.

One question about the description: A WHITE Hispanic male?
You are now entering the most dangerous place on earth, a public highway. Please fasten your seatbelt, and drive defensively.
George "zimmerman" turning out to be Hispanic, well after the story went out about a white shooter, through them for a loop, so they decided to coin the phrase "white hispanic" to salvage the hate they wanted to gin up.
A nun is dead and all you can do is focus on race? Why, because your going to go out tonight, help out local law enforcement and canvas the south fork? Please!!
My heart goes out to the nun's family & friends.
My love and prayers to all.
This may have been purely an accident, and the ...more driver felt comfy panicking since others were on the scene. He knows he's going to jail, and a short time as a scofflaw will be the last taste of freedom he has for a LONG time. But, the honorable thing to do is just tell the truth about why it happened. Fiddling with the radio, texting, phone call, mp3 player, WORSE, whatever. People today deserve at least that much, especially those closest to this wonderful woman.
I'm more than fairly sure she would insist you go to confession.
Not every member of the order Sapiens is capable of such action.
Ohh the irony....
Then again, my faith may be unfounded...
Where is the public outrage about this "miscarriage of justice" as the Press said in an editorial late last year?
The public pleaded to help, similar to the recent Boston Marathon attacks, but the Southampton Town PD delayed 11 days to release the suspect's ID and photo.
Did favoritism play a part in this delay?
What is the status of this investigation?
Will we ever ...more know the truth in this election year?
Rest in Peace, Sister Walsh.
