Clearwater, FL (March 26, 2023) - The Florida Highway Patrol was called to the scene of an injury crash in Clearwater on Sunday, March 26th. The accident took place around 7:00 a.m. on McMullen Booth Road near the intersection with Sunset Point Road.

According to a report, two cars were involved in the accident. The driver of one of the vehicles involved fled the scene before police could arrive. The crash resulted in injuries to at least one person, and paramedics were dispatched to provide treatment to the victim. The nature of the victim's injuries is not clear at this time. There is no information on the cause of the accident or the identity of the injured individual. Police have not released a description of the vehicle or the suspect.

The accident remains under investigation at this time. There is no further information available.

In Florida, it is illegal to leave the scene of a car accident, especially an accident where injuries are involved. However, many drivers choose to flee anyway, perhaps in an attempt to avoid legal responsibility for their actions. When these drivers are apprehended they can face serious criminal charges as well as civil liability for the crash. Most hit-and-run collisions are caused due to careless and reckless actions immediately before the accident.

Our thoughts and best wishes are with the injured victim following this hit-and-run crash in Clearwater. We hope for a full recovery.
