Orlando, FL (November 5, 2020) - The Florida Highway Patrol responded to the scene of a car accident in Orlando on Thursday evening. Troopers received a call regarding the accident around 11:00 p.m. and arrived shortly thereafter.

The accident happened on Conway Road South near Gatlin Avenue. According to a report from the scene, at least one person sustained injuries in the accident. The other motorist involved in the crash fled the accident scene before the police could arrive. There is no information regarding the extent of the victim's injuries or the cause of the collision at this time. An investigation into the accident remains ongoing at this time.

There is no further information available. 

According to statistics published by NHTSA, car accidents in Florida occur about once every 92 seconds. Hit-and-run crashes strongly contribute to the overall total number of accidents in our state every year. Last year, more than 100,000 hit-and-run collisions took place in Florida, which accounts for about 25% of all total traffic accidents. Hit-and-run crashes are, unfortunately, becoming more common as victims are injured by drivers who flee the scene and attempt to avoid responsibility for their actions.
