A 28-year-old man was killed in a hit-and-run crash early Monday morning in West Palm Beach, and police are asking for the public’s help to identify the driver responsible.
Officers with the West Palm Beach Police Department said they responded to South Olive Avenue, off Lakewood Road, at around 1:50 a.m. Monday, where they found B dead in the roadway. An electric scooter was discovered nearby, according to investigators.
Police said the driver involved in the crash left the scene without stopping to render aid or report the incident.
