The Broward Sheriff’s Office is on the hunt for the driver of a Toyota Camry that struck down a pedestrian in Tamarac last week and is seeking the public’s help.
At around 11:55 p.m. Saturday surveillance footage of the crash shows a man crossing the southbound lanes of North State Road 7 mid-block north of Commercial Boulevard, according to deputies.
The driver of the 2002-2006 Toyota Camry was going southbound in the left lane when the driver’s side bumper collided with a pedestrian sending him to the ground, investigators say.
As the man lay on the road, deputies say a black sedan drove over him and continued southbound. At this point, other pedestrians and drivers stopped to help the man.
The surveillance footage shows the driver of the Toyota pulled into the nearby Shell gas station and exited the car and walked back towards where the pedestrian lay as Good Samaritans attempted to help.
The Toyota driver then goes back to his car and leaves going southbound on North State Road 7.
Tamarac Fire & Rescue arrived and took the pedestrian to a local hospital in critical condition.
Investigators say the Toyota may have minor damage to the front bumper on the driver’s side. The car is also missing the passenger-side front hubcap.
Detectives describe the driver as possibly an adult male who was wearing dark Bermuda shorts and a light sleeveless shirt.
Investigators are asking anyone with information about the Toyota involved in the hit-and-run, the driver’s identity or the vehicle’s tag or location to contact BSOT Detective Wylie at 954-321-4841.
