ORANGE COUNTY, FL (352today.com) – The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) is requesting assistance from the public to help identify three people who left the scene of a crash this week.

On Sunday, July 14, at approximately 11:00 a.m., FHP responded to a hit-and-run crash on Interstate 4 (I-4) westbound at mile marker 67.

The crash, as captured on dashcam video, shows the moment a red 2017 Chevrolet Camaro collided with the left rear side of a white 2016 Hyundai Tucson.

The collision caused the Hyundai to run off the roadway onto the right shoulder and overturn.

FHP says the driver of the Hyundai, a 20-year-old female, was treated for her injuries on the scene and did not have to be transported.

Following the collision, troopers say the three occupants of the red Chevrolet Camaro fled the scene on foot and were later picked up in a gray or silver-colored vehicle.
