Pembroke Pines, FL (August 18, 2025) – A bicyclist was injured in a hit-and-run crash early Sunday morning after being struck by a dark-colored truck near the intersection of NE 20th Terrace and NE 2nd St. The incident occurred around 4:05 AM and prompted an immediate emergency response from law enforcement and medical teams.
According to dispatch audio from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, a female driver fled the scene eastbound on NE 2nd St after hitting the cyclist. The vehicle—described as a dark-colored truck—left without stopping to offer aid or identify herself. Injuries were confirmed at the scene, though the extent of the victim’s condition has not been made public at this time.
Emergency crews arrived quickly to assist the injured cyclist and search for witnesses or surveillance footage that might help identify the vehicle. Hit-and-run collisions are treated as criminal offenses in Florida, particularly when injuries are involved, and authorities are actively investigating this case.
NE 2nd St is a residential corridor in Pembroke Pines, and the early morning timing of the crash raises concerns about visibility, driver awareness, and the presence of non-motorized road users in low-light conditions.
We send our sincere wishes for healing to the bicyclist and hope that the driver responsible is identified swiftly.
Hit-and-Run Bicycle Accidents in Florida
Florida remains one of the most dangerous states for bicyclists, and hit-and-run crashes like the one reported in Pembroke Pines reflect a disturbing pattern. Cyclists, who lack the protection of a vehicle frame, are highly vulnerable in any collision—and when a driver flees the scene, victims are left without immediate aid, increasing the risk of long-term complications or fatalities.
The crash on NE 2nd St involved a female driver who made the decision to flee rather than stop and assist the injured party. In Florida, leaving the scene of an accident involving injuries is a felony offense, punishable by fines, license suspension, and potential jail time. Beyond legal consequences, these actions can delay critical medical intervention and add emotional trauma to an already devastating event.
Pembroke Pines, like many South Florida communities, has seen an increase in pedestrian and bicycle traffic, especially in residential zones where drivers may not anticipate cyclists during early morning hours. This incident highlights the importance of visibility, cautious driving, and shared roadway awareness at all times of day.
For bicyclists injured in a hit-and-run, navigating recovery can be overwhelming. Medical care, insurance negotiations, and investigative hurdles require urgent attention—often while the victim is dealing with physical and emotional distress. Immediate documentation, legal support, and follow-up care are essential steps toward justice and healing.
