ROCHESTER, .N.Y. -- Maurice Johnson has been identified as the victim of the fatal car accident on Lake Avenue Saturday.

Johnson`s family is looking for answers while remembering the man they knew as “Moe.” 

“I would like someone to come forward. At least let me know what happened,” said the victim`s mother, Bernice Johnson. 

According to Rochester police, Johnson was a passenger in a Nissan when it collided with a Jeep Cherokee. The 50-year-old was removed from the vehicle by firefighters and taken to the hospital. The driver of the Nissan left the scene before police arrived. 

“I know I can`t get through this by myself and I have to have the strength to be able to do this because Maurice was my baby, so that in itself was hard to accept that he`s gone,” said Johnson. 

The investigation is ongoing.
