Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies search for suspect in hit-and-run that killed woman
Broward deputies are on the hunt for a person who hit an 80-year-old woman with their car and killed her Wednesday night, authorities said. A reward is being offered for information that leads to an arrest.
Just before 8 p.m., Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies and Oakland Park Fire Rescue were called to a hit-and-run crash near Northwest 38th Street and Northwest Ninth Avenue, officials said.
A preliminary investigation revealed Barbara Price, 80, was crossing the street outside of the crosswalk when a light blue 2005 to 2009 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SUV struck her.
Investigators say the front passenger side of the SUV hit her, causing her “to be projected” off the road.
She was pronounced dead at the scene. Detectives are looking for the driver and their car, which is said to have possible damage to the passenger side bumper, headlight and hood.
Anyone with information is asked to call BSO Traffic Homicide Det. Mike Wiley at 954-321-4841 or submit a tip through the SaferWatch App. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477, online at browardcrimestoppers.org or dial **8477.
If a tip leads to an arrest, the tipster is eligible for a reward of up to $10,000.
