Credit: UC Breaking A fatal hit-and-run on Friday night in Collier County left a pedestrian dead, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. The crash occurred around 9 p.m. on New Market Road near Escambia Street in Immokalee. Troopers said a man was attempting to cross the westbound lanes of New Market Road when he was struck by a Ford van traveling west. After the initial collision, a second vehicle, driven by a 70-year-old man heading east on New Market Rd, also hit the pedestrian. The pedestrian, whose identity is pending, was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Ford van, a 41-year-old man, fled the scene but later returned. The van has been impounded, and the incident remains under investigation.
