Miami, FL (October 14, 2020) - Troopers with the Florida Highway Patrol responded to a hit-and-run collision on Wednesday, October 14th. The crash occurred around 8:20 p.m. at the intersection of State Road 826 and NW 36th Street.

According to reports, the driver who caused the crash fled the scene shortly after the collision and before the police could arrive. At least one injured victim was found at the scene when troopers arrived. The victim's condition is not known at this time and there is no word on the cause of the accident. Troopers reported a roadblock at the scene as a result of the accident. Motorists were advised to avoid the scene and to use caution if they traveled through the area.

An investigation into the accident is ongoing. There is no further information available at this time. 

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.
