Vehicle Sought In Fort Pierce Hit-And-Run Crash That Injured Bicyclist

FORT PIERCE, Fla.— A bicyclist is in critical condition after a hit-and-run crash, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

It happened just after dawn.

A pickup truck hit the bicyclist while making a turn onto Avenue D from Angle Road, according to FHP. The truck then fled the scene.

The bicyclist, a 44-year-old man, was taken to Lawnwood Hospital, where he’s currently in critical condition, FHP said. A witness described the truck as a black Dodge pickup truck with big tires and a roll bar in the bed of the truck.

Anyone with information on the truck or the driver’s identity is asked to call FHP by phone.

Comments:

Attorney Jason Weisser of Schuler, Halvorson, Weisser, Zoeller and Overbeck responded about the crash.  “A Hit-and-run is one of the worst type of accidents.  When that person that fled the scene is caught you have rights that are different then in a regular car crash.  Make sure you speak to a licensed professional about your rights”.
