Palm Beach Gardens police are searching for a hit-and-run driver after a crash that caused minor injuries. A person ran from one of the vehicles, and officers are looking through the area, as reported by WPBF.
Major Paul Rogers, a spokesman for the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department, told WPBF there is heavy police activity near Alternate A1A and Kyoto Gardens Drive. The station reported Friday that several Palm Beach Gardens police personnel are searching for the driver.
Rogers said officers are searching after the person ran. The activity he described is heavy, and it sits on those two roads.
The city’s Citywide Mobility Plan includes an on-street buffered bike lane network, but does not establish a construction schedule.
The search took place at Alternate A1A and Kyoto Gardens Drive.
Florida law requires a driver involved in a crash causing injury, other than serious bodily injury, to stop and remain at the scene until providing required information and meeting duties to assist injured people. A willful violation of that requirement is a third-degree felony under the statute. Since police have not publicly identified the person who ran or announced charges, the law provides context, not a conclusion about this case. Florida’s statute on crashes involving injury sets out the requirement.
