Hit-and-Run Injury Crashes in Florida
Hit-and-run crashes, like the one reported on Landstar Blvd at the SR-417 entrance, continue to be a serious issue across Florida. When a driver flees the scene of an accident—especially when injuries are involved—it delays emergency response for victims and complicates the legal and financial aftermath for everyone affected.
Busy entrance ramps and highway interchanges are common sites for these types of crashes. High-speed merging, quick lane changes, and distracted driving contribute to the frequency of collisions in these areas. Unfortunately, when a driver fails to remain at the scene, victims may face additional stress trying to navigate medical treatment and insurance coverage without accountability from the at-fault party.
In Florida, leaving the scene of a crash involving injury is a felony offense, punishable by significant legal consequences. However, victims still bear the burden of medical bills, missed work, and trauma in the aftermath.
