Daytona Beach police seek driver after fatal hit-and-run on LPGA Boulevard

Daytona Beach police are seeking help from the public to identify a driver who left the scene after striking a 43-year-old woman early Saturday morning. The woman was crossing LPGA Boulevard at about 4:30 a.m. when a vehicle hit her, investigators said. She was transported to a hospital and later died.

Detectives have obtained surveillance footage from a nearby business that appears to capture the collision and the driver's movements afterward. According to police, the recording appears to show the vehicle striking the woman, then stopping and turning around before departing. Investigators said the driver was last seen heading north on Derbyshire Road.

The footage has not allowed detectives to establish the vehicle's make or model. Police said the image is grainy and the vehicle is too distant from the camera for those details to be identified. Investigators are asking residents to look for a four-door sedan or a small crossover SUV that has damage to the front end or windshield.

Alongside their review of the surveillance recording, detectives are examining vehicle debris recovered during the investigation. They are using that material in an effort to determine the make and model of the vehicle involved. The debris analysis and the footage are both part of the department's continuing effort to identify the driver.

Police are also contacting auto body shops in the area as they pursue possible leads. They want to learn whether anyone has brought in a vehicle with unexplained damage that might be linked to the fatal collision. The department is asking the public to report similar information about vehicles they know of.

Investigators urged anyone who knows someone whose vehicle recently sustained unexplained front-end damage to contact the Daytona Beach Police Department. They are also seeking information from anyone with knowledge of the crash itself or the vehicle involved.

The department has called on the driver to turn themselves in. Police said they remain committed to identifying the person responsible and will continue investigating until someone is held accountable for the woman's death.

Anyone with information about the collision or the vehicle can contact Detective Patterson at (386) 671-5366. Details of the investigation were provided in a social media post by the Daytona Beach Police Department, which was the source of FOX 35 Orlando's report.
