A bicyclist was hospitalized after being struck by a car in Lauderdale Lakes on Friday afternoon, officials said.
The incident happened near the intersection of Northwest 29th Street and U.S. 441.
Footage from the scene showed a bicycle laid on its side and personal belongings in the middle of the roadway.
Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue officials said they transported a man from the scene to Broward Health Medical Center, where he was being treated for a possible head injury.
Officials said they responded to the call as a hit-and-run but the driver of the vehicle, a silver Honda, later returned to the scene.
BSO deputies had the area blocked off as they were seen speaking with the driver, whose vehicle had a smashed windshield and front-end damage.
It’s unclear if the driver will be facing any charges.
NBC6 is working to learn more about the man who was hospitalized and his condition.
