An early morning crash along Interstate 95 caused severe traffic delays Monday after a man was struck and killed in Hollywood, officials said.
According to Florida Highway Patrol, at about 3:40 a.m., a man was walking in the center lane of northbound I-95 near Stirling Road when he was hit by a car traveling in that same direction.
After the crash, the man rolled and tumbled onto the northbound center lane of I-95. The driver fled the scene and did not stop to render aid or report the incident to authorities, FHP said.
According to troopers, the man was laying in the roadway when several other cars ran him over and also fled the scene.
The man’s car, which was parked on the inside shoulder of I-95, had apparently been involved in another crash before this incident.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Earlier Monday, all traffic was being deviated to Sheridan Street. Drivers were urged to seek another route as the investigation continues.
At this time, police have not yet released the man’s identity.
