The Kissimmee Police Department is searching for a hit-and-run driver wanted for a fatal crash at an area intersection on Sunday.

According to an agency press release, the unknown suspect was driving a Ford Transit Connect Van, when the crash occurred at the intersection of South John Young Parkway and Emmett Street at about 7:33 p.m. The vehicle then fled.

Because it is still an open investigation, police officials did not say whether the victim was a pedestrian or another driver.

The vehicle should have damage to the front portion of the vehicle and will be missing the lower portion of the grill.

Detectives are asking anyone with more information to contact the Kissimmee Police Department at 407-847-0176 or Crimeline. You can contact Crimeline anonymously at 1-800-423-TIPS.
