Orlando, FL (October 28, 2020) – Around 8:45 p.m. on Monday night, October 26, a fatal pedestrian accident occurred in Orlando.
According to authorities, the accident took place at the intersection of Curry Ford Road and Woodgate Boulevard near the area of the Ventura Country Club. A man started to cross the street in the area when he was suddenly struck by a gray Ford Mustang that fled the scene of the crash.
The pedestrian, who has only been identified as an adult male, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.
The driver of the Mustang eventually returned to the scene and spoke with police. Police have confirmed that the driver is now facing charges but they have not commented on the exact charges.
Both directions of the roadway were closed in the area for an extended period of time. The road later reopened.
The investigation into the circumstances of the collision continues.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.
