Hollywood, FL (May 26, 2019) - A trooper with the Florida Highway Patrol is in the hospital following a hit-and-run crash on the Florida Turnpike. The incident occurred on Saturday, May 25th.
Reports indicate that the trooper was struck by a vehicle that then fled the scene. The injured officer was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital as a trauma alert, although there is no current update on his condition. The crash took place in the southbound lanes of the roadway, causing all lanes to be shut down while an investigation into the crash took place. The injured trooper has not been identified at this time.
Officials are looking for a white 6 Series BMW with front-end damage and temporary tags. Anyone with information on the suspect is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
We wish to extend our sympathies to the trooper who suffered injuries in this terrible hit-and-run crash in Hollywood. Law enforcement officers and first responders are on the road daily as part of their duties. These individuals spend more time on our roads than most drivers. As a result, they are often involved in crashes with other motorists that can lead to serious consequences. As we see here, the driver involved in the crash chose to break the law by fleeing the scene afterward.
