MIAMI – An elderly pedestrian was seriously hurt Saturday after a hit-and-run crash in Miami's Allapattah neighborhood, authorities said.
Officer Kiara Delva, a spokeswoman for the Miami Police Department, said a man who had just gotten off a bus was struck by a white Nissan as he walked across Northwest 22nd Avenue near Northwest 21st Street around 9 a.m. The driver of the Nissan did not stop to help the victim, Delva said.
Paramedics transported the victim, who was not identified, to a local hospital, where he was listed in critical condition. Witnesses said the victim looked to be in his 70s.
Miami police officers were later seen investigating near a white Nissan with extensive front-end damage at Northwest 22nd Avenue and Northwest 26th Street. Delva said a possible suspect was detained.
