Tampa, FL (June 27, 2025) – A hit-and-run crash reported at a central Tampa intersection on Wednesday left at least one person injured and launched an ongoing search for the fleeing driver.

The accident occurred on June 25 at the intersection of West Platt Street and South Boulevard. Emergency personnel were dispatched to the scene following reports of a crash involving a vehicle that left the scene before law enforcement arrived. First responders rendered aid to the injured and transported victims to a local hospital for further treatment.

Authorities have not released information about the vehicle that fled, but an investigation is underway to identify and locate the suspect. The intersection was cleared and reopened shortly after the crash. No additional details about the victim’s condition or the events leading up to the incident have been made public at this time.

We hope those hurt in this crash make a swift recovery.

Car Accidents in Florida

Each year, Florida sees thousands of hit-and-run crashes. In 2023 alone, more than 104,000 hit-and-run incidents were reported, many of which resulted in injuries or fatalities. Tampa, with its busy downtown traffic corridors, continues to be a hotspot for these unpredictable and dangerous accidents.

There are a few key facts every driver should know about hit-and-run crashes:

Why Drivers Flee the Scene: Hit-and-run drivers may lack valid licenses, insurance, or be under the influence. Fear of consequences often leads them to flee, leaving victims to face the fallout alone.
How Victims Can Help Investigators: Try to recall any details—vehicle color, make, damage, direction of travel, or partial plate numbers. Witness statements and security camera footage are crucial.
Immediate Medical Evaluation: Injuries from these crashes often go untreated longer, especially when victims are disoriented. Always get checked even if symptoms seem minor at first.
Legal Complexity: Without an identified driver, insurance claims can become more difficult. Many victims must rely on uninsured motorist coverage, if available, to pursue compensation.
Trauma and Anxiety: Beyond physical injuries, hit-and-run victims may suffer anxiety and a prolonged sense of vulnerability. Emotional support and therapy can help the healing process.

If you were injured in a hit-and-run, it’s essential to contact a Tampa car accident attorney immediately. An attorney can help track down the driver, guide you through insurance claims, and fight for the compensation you deserve.
