Driver sought in deadly hit-and-run crash in Daytona Beach

The hunt is on for a hit-and-run driver who killed a woman in Daytona Beach. Thanks for joining us tonight. I'm Luanne Sorrell. And I'm Manny Martinez, the woman who was crossing LPGA when a car hit her and left her for dead. Chancellor Wynn is live for us tonight in Daytona Beach. So, Chancellor, police are asking for the public's help. Yeah, that's exactly right, Manny. Police actually tell us, the Daytona Beach police say, they actually have surveillance video that they're not releasing because the video is grainy and far away. But detectives say in that video, they saw a driver hit a woman, stop. Turn around and then take off, leaving the woman lying right here on the side of LPGA Boulevard before she was rushed to a hospital where she died. Now, this all happening early Saturday morning around 4.30. So for the last four days, this search for the driver has been going on. The problem is, even though investigators say they have the surveillance video from a business right along LPGA Boulevard, they cannot make out the make or model of the car. That's why they're now asking for the help from the community, Asking people to keep. Keep an eye out for either a four-door car or possibly a smaller crossover SUV with damage to the windshield and to the front of the car. Now take a listen to how the police department describes what they saw in that surveillance video. We see the vehicle. We see what appears to be the crash. We see that vehicle turn around. We see that vehicle turn around, sees what they see. They continue to drive. They go northbound on Derbyshire, which is the last known location of that vehicle. Now, detectives say they are analyzing car parts to try to determine a make-and-model of the car, but they're also going door-to-door, basically, checking out local auto body shops to see if anybody has brought in a car that may have had unreported damage. Chancellor, police have a message for that driver. What is it? Well, the message is simple. They want that driver to turn themselves in, but they're not sugarcoating it. They say in that video, seeing the driver stop, take off after hitting that woman, they want to hold this person responsible. And the police department says they're not going to stop searching for them. What matters is a person understood that they got in an accident and then they continue to drive away from the scene, leaving this 43-year-old woman helpless on the side of the road with absolutely nothing. She's a human. Regardless of her walk of life, she's a member of this community and this police department will not stop until we put someone in custody for their actions. And that's the bottom line tonight. Police are not going to stop until they can find the driver of this car. And that's why they're asking for people to keep an eye out for a car with front end damage, possibly a cracked windshield, and simple things. Like even if you know someone who may be getting repairs to their car that are unexpected, to call Daytona Beach Police and let them check it out. But for now, reporting live in Daytona Beach, Chancellor Nguyen, Fox 35 News.
