FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – Broward Sheriff’s Office traffic homicide detectives are investigating a hit-and-run crash that left a victim with severe injuries. Detectives are asking the public to help assist them in identifying the driver of the vehicle which they say will have heavy front end damage.

According to authorities, early Wednesday morning, a pedestrian, James Patterson, was assisting a disabled motorist in the eastbound lanes of East Cypress Creek Road at North Dixie Highway in Oakland Park. An unknown subject was driving south on North Dixie Highway in a vehicle similar to a 2013-2016 Lexus GS 350 when it struck Patterson and then fled.
