The Florida Highway Patrol is seeking information into a driver involved in a Sunday night hit-and-run accident along West U.S. Highway 192.
Troopers say just after 11 p.m. Sunday the unknown vehicle was traveling westbound on 192 east of Four Winds Boulevard in the center lane. A 21-year-old Kissimmee woman was crossing from south to north not in a marked crosswalk, and the vehicle struck her. The woman was transported to HCA Florida Osceola Hospital in critical condition.
Post-collision, the vehicle fled the scene westbound on 192, and troopers say they have no further information on the vehicle or the driver at this time. Anyone with information regarding this crash is asked to call *FHP (*347) or CRIMELINE at 1-800-423-TIPS (1-800-423-8477) and reference Case # FHP25ON0541697.
FHP reminds motorists that leaving the scene of a crash that results in property damage, injury, or death is against the law. The Florida Highway Patrol reminds Floridians about the consequences of leaving the scene of a crash and the challenges law enforcement face when investigating a hit-and-run crash. If involved in a crash, stay at the scene, call for help, and follow these steps:
Remain calm and ensure yourself and any passengers are okay.
If possible, move to the side of the road. If you get out of your vehicle, remove your keys, move off the roadway, and remain in a safe area.
Check on others involved. Call 911 if anyone might be injured or a vehicle is inoperable.
If there are no injuries or major property damage, gather information. Obtain the name, driver license, insurance, and tag information from the other driver(s). Take photos of the vehicles and information if you can’t write it down and then file a report online.
