On July 14, 2024, at approximately 11:00 A.M. FHP responded to a hit-and-run crash with serious injuries on I-4 westbound at mile marker 67. V1 (2017 Chevrolet Camaro) was traveling westbound on I-4 at mile marker 67 in the center lane. V2 (2016 Hyundai Tucson) was traveling westbound on I-4 at mile marker 67 in the center lane, ahead of V1.
V1 Driver attempted to change lanes from the center lane to the inside lane. As a result, the front right of V1 collided with the left rear of V2. This impact caused V2 to runoff the roadway right onto the right shoulder and overturn. Post-collision, three occupants in V1 fled the scene on foot and were later picked up by a gray or silver in color unknown make and model vehicle.
Witnesses described the three occupants in V1 as black or Hispanic males possibly in their early 20s. V2 Driver (20-year-old female) was not transported from the scene. Anyone with information regarding this crash is asked to call *FHP (*347) or CRIMELINE at 1-800-423-TIPS.
Please view the attached photos of occupants of V1 and video of the crash.
Leaving the scene of a crash that results in property damage, injury, or death is against the law. The Florida Highway Patrol is reminding Floridians about the consequences of leaving the scene of a crash and the challenges law enforcement face when investigating a hit-and-run crash. If involved in a crash, stay at the scene, call for help, and follow these steps:
1. Make sure you and any passengers are okay. Remain calm.
2. If possible, move to the side of the road. Remove your keys if you get out of your vehicle, move off the roadway, and stay in a safe area.
3. Check on others involved. Call 911 if anyone might be injured or a vehicle is inoperable.
4. If there are no injuries or major property damage, gather information. Get the name, driver license, insurance and tag information from the other driver(s). Take photos of the vehicles and information if you can’t write it down and then file a report online.
