DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — A driver circled around a woman after fatally striking her Saturday before leaving the scene, according to Daytona Beach police.
The crash happened near LPGA Boulevard and Jimmy Ann Drive. The woman, who was in her 40s, has not been publicly identified.
Investigators have released traffic camera video showing a vehicle they believe was involved at LPGA Boulevard and Derbyshire Road just after the crash. Police say that intersection is the vehicle’s last known location.
Police seek more surveillance video
The footage is dark and grainy, making the vehicle difficult to identify. Sparks are visible as it moves through the intersection.
Investigators are seeking additional surveillance video from nearby businesses.
Police say separate footage, which they are not releasing, shows the vehicle striking the woman as she traveled eastbound on LPGA Boulevard. Investigators say the driver then circled around her body before continuing westbound.
“This is a woman in her 40s. We’re not releasing her identity, but she’s a member of this community, and the police department grieves with the family,” said Daytona Beach Police Public Information Officer Magen Geary.
Investigators looking for damaged sedan
Police believe the vehicle is a sedan with front-end damage on the passenger side.
Investigators are reviewing available surveillance footage and exploring technology that could help identify the driver.
Asked whether Flock cameras or license plate readers could help track the vehicle, police said it was difficult to say in this case, but noted the technology can help fill gaps in areas without traditional surveillance cameras.
Anyone who witnessed the crash or recognizes the vehicle is asked to contact Daytona Beach police.
