Manchester Police Hunt for Driver in Fatal Hit-and-Run

Manchester, N.H. – Police are searching for a driver connected to a fatal hit-and-run that occurred Wednesday evening in the Taco Bell parking lot off Second Street. The victim has been identified as 60-year-old Juliana Harbeck of Rindge.

According to Manchester police, officers arrived at the scene to find Harbeck on the ground with life-threatening injuries. She was quickly transported to a hospital but later succumbed to her injuries.

Investigators are seeking 27-year-old Maria Posada Canizales, who they say was driving a 2019 Infiniti Q50 at the time of the incident. An arrest warrant has been issued for her on charges of felony conduct after an accident.

Court records reveal that Posada Canizales was driving the same vehicle on August 2 when she was cited for operating without a valid driver’s license. The New Hampshire Department of Motor Vehicles has been contacted to determine the current status of her driving privileges and whether they were valid at the time of the crash.

Authorities are urging anyone with information about the incident or the whereabouts of Posada Canizales to contact the police.
