A young college student from Massachusetts was killed by a hit-and-run driver while on a baseball trip in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, officials said. Jackson Yelle, 21, of North Eastham, was found unresponsive along the Highway 17 Bypass north of 21st Avenue North just before 7:30 a.m. Sunday, according to the Myrtle Beach Police Department.
