On Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011, a Fort Lauderdale fatal hit-and-run crash occurred involving a motorcyclist. 52-year-old David Hughes, of Plantation, was traveling northbound in the 4500 block of North Federal Highway on his 2009 Kawasaki motorcycle when this accident took place.

According to police, the fatal crash occurred around 3:30 PM on Tuesday. Unfortunately, the driver who hit Hughes left the scene, causing police to look for the driver who caused Hughes to lose control of his motorcycle.
