The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office is asking for information about a driver who fled after a crash that killed a pedestrian in Boca Raton over the weekend.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, the driver of a white GMC Acadia struck a person who was in or near a crosswalk at the intersection of State Road 7 and Sandalfoot Boulevard shortly after 4 a.m. on Saturday. The pedestrian was left injured on the side of the road and died about an hour after the collision, authorities said.

The driver kept going after hitting the individual, the Sheriff’s Office said in a statement, and investigators are asking the public for help locating that person.

In a social media post, the Sheriff’s Office released an image of an Acadia similar to the one allegedly involved in the pedestrian’s death. In the picture, authorities also pointed out several points on the left side of the vehicle that may have been damaged in the collision.

Anyone with information about the pedestrian’s death or who recognizes the GMC SUV is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at 561-688-3400.
