HIALEAH, Fla. – A fatal hit-and-run crash was reported Thursday morning in Hialeah, authorities confirmed.

Hialeah police Lt. Eddie Rodriguez said the incident occurred shortly after 6 a.m. at the intersection of East First Avenue and Ninth Street.

He said one person was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sky 10 was above the scene at 7:50 a.m. as a white car with significant front-end damage was being inspected by authorities.
