Pembroke Park, FL (May 21, 2019) - A hit-and-run crash left a bicyclist injured on Tuesday, May 21st. The accident occurred near a Chevron gas station at the intersection of Hallandale Beach Boulevard and Southwest 37th Avenue.
Deputies with the Broward County Sheriff's Office were called to the scene in reference to the collision. When police arrived, they found the injured bicyclist at the scene. Following an investigation, it was determined that the bicyclist had been struck by a vehicle which fled the scene after the collision. According to a witness, the driver exited his vehicle following the crash but then left upon law enforcement's arrival.
The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment. The extent of his injuries was unknown but are not believed to be life-threatening.
We are happy to hear that the bicyclist injured in this crash is expected to recover. Unfortunately, many hit-and-run crashes involve serious injuries and death to the affected victims. Drivers are more likely to flee the scene of a serious car accident, especially if they are at fault for causing the crash. Under Florida law, anyone who leaves the scene of an injury accident has committed a felony and will face substantial legal trouble.
