Police were investigating a fatal hit-and-run in North Miami Monday night that left an elderly man dead.
The accident occurred around 7 p.m. when the victim was apparently crossing at the intersection of North Miami Avenue and Northwest 123rd Street and was struck and killed, said police spokesman Maj. Neal Cuevas.
The driver failed to stop. Police said there appeared to be no witnesses to the accident.
The body of the black male was discovered in the middle of North Miami Avenue, Cuevas said.
Police said the fleeing driver only left behind a hubcap and pieces of shattered glass.
The victim’s name has not been released awaiting notification of next of kin.
Earlier Monday, the Florida Highway Patrol sponsored a Hit-and-Run Awareness event. They revealed that last year there were 20,000 hit-and-run accidents in Miami-Dade and Broward.
