Police say Joey was reported missing before the incident occurred.
He was last seen walking away from the Christown Mall, located about 8 miles south of the fatal crash site.
Police say the 26-year-old driver remained at the scene and impairment or speed don’t appear to be a factor.
The driver told police he saw the man in the roadway, but was unable to stop in time or avoid the collision.
