Man accused in deadly Penn Hills hit-and-run heading to trial

PENN HILLS, Pa. — A local family told Channel 11 they are on their way to getting closure after Friday's court hearing for Surron Burch. 

Burch is accused of hitting Joe Morris in April along Hershey Road in Penn Hills back in April. Police say Burch never stopped the car, and investigators found him weeks later.

A judge held his charges for court Friday.

The defense attorney is saying Burch isn’t responsible for Morris’ death. Weeks after Burch's arrest, investigators found out a second vehicle was involved in hitting and dragging Morris a half mile down the road. That car and driver have yet to be found.

Morris' family said Friday they are frustrated because they still do not know the full story, and so far it has not been the outcome they were hoping for.
