ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 A man in a wheelchair and a dog were killed in a hit-and-run crash in Orlando, the Florida Highway Patrol said.<\/p>\n
The crash happened around 9 p.m. Thursday on Lee Road and Adanson Street. According to an FHP report, a 2021 Lexus ES traveling eastbound ran off the road, struck the curbed median and hit two adults and a dog standing there.<\/p>\n
Debris from the wheelchair struck a 2006 Toyota Tacoma that was stopped in the westbound left-turn lane. The Tacoma\u2019s driver, a 20-year-old Orlando man, was not seriously injured, troopers said. <\/p>\n
FHP said the Lexus fled the scene eastbound after the collision and the suspected vehicle was later found unoccupied in a nearby parking lot with damage consistent with the crash.<\/p>\n
The man in the wheelchair and the dog were pronounced dead at the scene. A woman who was with the man was taken to the hospital in stable but critical condition.<\/p>\n
The case remains an active criminal investigation.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information about the crash was asked to call FHP by dialing *FHP (*347) or CrimeLine at 1-800-423-TIPS (1-800-423-8477), according to the release.<\/p>\n
