Detectives with the Broward Sheriff’s Office Traffic Homicide Unit are searching for the driver who struck and killed a pedestrian over the weekend in Pompano Beach.
According to BSO spokeswoman M G, the hit-and-run crash was reported at about 5:55 a.m. Saturday in the 2700 block of West Atlantic Boulevard.
G said BSO deputies and Pompano Beach Fire Rescue responded to the area and found a woman who had been struck by a vehicle.
The victim was transported to Broward Health North, where she was pronounced dead a short time later.
“According to detectives, the preliminary investigation revealed the pedestrian was walking northbound across West Atlantic Boulevard when she was struck by a vehicle traveling eastbound,” G wrote in a news release. “Witnesses advised detectives that after the crash, the vehicle, which is believed to be a dark colored sedan, stopped. A male driver exited the vehicle and acknowledged the pedestrian lying on the roadway. The driver then got back into the sedan and fled northbound on Powerline Road from West Atlantic Boulevard.”
Anyone with information about the driver’s identity is asked to call BSO THI Detective Carlos De Jesus at 954-321-4842 or submit a tip through the SaferWatch app.
