The Cape Coral Police Department seeks information from the public that will lead them to a vehicle and its driver involved in a hit-and-run crash.

The picture posted by Cape Coral police clearly shows the vehicle’s license plate as AV7 7VP. The car appears to be an older model red Lexus SUV.

According to police on Sunday, the driver was involved in a hit-and-run crash near the 700 block of Southwest Pine Island Road.

WINK News spoke to Cape Coral drivers who say the infrastructure is not keeping up with the growing population.

“I’m not shocked. There’s many like that on this road. So it’s just time for something to be done. They don’t have under control at all,” said Susan Wyatt, a Cape Coral resident.

“Cape Coral was so quiet a few years ago, but now there’s too many people,” said Leo Leonardo, a Cape Coral resident.

Police are reporting serious injuries were resulted from the scene.

If you have any information, contact the police department or SWFL Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-8744. You can also submit tips online or on the P3 Tips mobile app. Remember, you can remain anonymous and be eligible for a reward.
