FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Alejandro Ramirez was walking to his car outside a gas station in the 700 block of Broward Boulevard last month when he was struck by a car.
He ended up hitting a street a sign before landing on the ground.
The driver left the scene.
"It's a miracle that I'm standing here in front of you right now," Ramirez said.
Now, five weeks after a grueling recovery, Ramirez is back home.
Ramirez said he has a long road ahead and wants to say "thank you" to those encouraging him along the way.
"It's really been heartfelt and it's really helped in this very tough time, because things haven't been easy," he said.
Ramirez hopes the driver who left the scene is watching.
"It's messed up. I don't even know if that person even knows that they hit a person," he said.
Police believe the vehicle involved in the hit-and-run was a white 2004 to 2008 Acura TSX, believed to have serious damage on the front and passenger side.
"Do what's right and turn yourself in," Ramirez said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
