Miami, FL (June 23, 2020) - The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating after a fatal hit-and-run crash in Miami on Tuesday morning. The crash happened on I-95 in Miami Dade.
The crash happened just before noon. When rescue workers arrived at the scene they found the victim lying near the roadway. The unidentified individual was pronounced dead at the scene. Troopers believe that the deceased victim was struck by a vehicle that then fled the scene before officers could arrive. A description of the suspect vehicle was not immediately available. An investigation into the accident is ongoing.
No additional details are available.
A hit-and-run crash is a devastating event for victims and their families. In Florida as in all other states, it is a crime to leave the scene of an injury accident. Drivers are required to remain present until law enforcement arrives to investigate the crash. For multiple reasons, however, drivers do not always obey the law. This is especially true when their negligence has caused the accident to occur.
Our thoughts and condolences are with the victim's family following this hit-and-run in Miami.
