Woman Dies Following Miami Hit-and-Run Collision

According to authorities in Florida, the state currently has a hit-and-run auto accident problem. The problem has gotten attention from high places, and Florida authorities attempted to raise awareness by deeming February “Hit-and-Run Awareness Month.” But despite officials’ best efforts, some drivers continue to flee the scene of car crashes in violation of Florida law. Sometimes this can have severe repercussions, such as when a South Florida woman died in a hit-and-run crash this weekend. 

Local10.com reports that the victim died after a vehicle struck her along Northwest 79th Street and Second Court at about 3:45 a.m. Rescue workers transported her to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center for treatment, but she later died. 

Though it is uncertain, had the driver that struck the woman stayed at the scene to assist her, she may have had a better chance of surviving.
