Driver Arrested after Hit and Run in Hallandale
A hit-and-run driver was taken into custody after reportedly striking an 8-year-old girl in Hallandale Beach. Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue responded to the incident near 1000 SW 3rd St. on Monday morning. Surveillance footage captured the moment the girl ran across the street before being hit by the vehicle.
According to Hallandale Police, the driver initially stopped to check on the child but fled the scene before authorities arrived. The child suffered arm and leg injuries and was taken to Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in serious but stable condition. She is expected to recover fully, as stated by Hallandale Police Capt. Megan Jones.
After a search, police located and arrested the alleged hit-and-run driver, identified as 37-year-old driver. Body camera footage released during the arrest showed him in the passenger seat of another vehicle, driven by a woman.
A witness recounted hearing and witnessing the incident, describing the driver as braking immediately after hitting the girl with a black Mercedes Benz. The witness noted the girl’s shock and stated that she appeared hurt but unable to fully comprehend the situation.
Concerns from neighbors about speeding in the residential area prompted suggestions for speed bumps. The driver faces charges including leaving the scene of an accident with injuries, being a habitual traffic offender, and lacking insurance or registration.
