Largo, FL (June 19, 2025) – A hit-and-run crash occurred during early morning hours in Largo on Tuesday, June 18. The incident took place at the intersection of Ulmerton Road and U.S. Highway 19 North, prompting a dispatch response at approximately 6:35 a.m.

Local law enforcement and emergency responders arrived at the scene shortly after receiving reports of the crash. One or more vehicles involved fled the area before officers could initiate a traffic stop or gather information on the at-fault driver. At least one person was hurt in the collision and was assisted at the scene before being taken to a nearby hospital for additional medical care.

The roadway was partially obstructed during the morning commute as police worked to clear the area and investigate the scene. No arrests or identifications have been confirmed as of this time, but authorities continue to search for the driver responsible.

Police are encouraging anyone who witnessed the incident or has relevant information to come forward. Surveillance footage and eyewitness accounts may help identify the hit-and-run vehicle involved.

We hope for a full and speedy recovery for the victim injured in this crash.

Car Accidents in Florida

Across Florida, car crashes occur regularly and impact thousands of lives each year. Many collisions result in injury, property damage, or even tragic loss. Roads such as U.S. Highway 19 are often hotspots for collisions, especially during peak hours. Victims of these crashes often face not only physical injuries but also emotional and financial stress.

Being in a hit-and-run crash can be particularly stressful. Here’s why it’s important to understand your options and protect yourself:

The Importance of Medical Attention: Even if injuries seem minor, it’s critical to get evaluated after a crash. Internal trauma, concussions, or soft tissue damage may not be visible immediately but can become serious if left untreated. Medical documentation also plays a key role in any potential legal case.
Challenges in Identifying the Driver: Without immediate information on the fleeing driver, identifying who was responsible can take time. Police may rely on camera footage, witness reports, or damage patterns. This makes it vital to provide any detail, no matter how small.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage: Many Florida drivers carry uninsured motorist coverage, which can help cover your losses when the at-fault driver is unknown or underinsured. This can help pay for medical care, lost income, and more.
Legal Support During Uncertainty: Legal professionals can assist in tracking down the driver or working through your insurance policy. They handle communication with insurers, file claims, and push for fair compensation. This gives victims space to recover without added stress.
