MIRAMAR, Fla. – A reward is being offered for information that leads to an arrest after police said a 26-year-old woman was left in a coma following a hit-and-run crash while she was jogging in Miramar a few months ago.
Onyxia Delinois was heard in the background crying in pain as members of her running group were on the phone with 911 after the incident occurred near the 800 block of Miramar Parkway on April 6.

“She’s bleeding from her head and has a lot of bruises,” the caller said.
Memorial Regional Hospital Dr. Andrew Rosenthal told Local 10 News back in April that Delinois was placed in a coma after she suffered a critical head injury and underwent emergency brain surgery.
A flyer from Broward Crime Stoppers states that Delinois “sustained serious injuries from the crash.”
Delinois’s husband, Roosevelt Delinois, asked the public for help with finding the driver who didn’t stop to help her and didn’t call police after running her over.
“If you could speak to your wife, what would you say?” Local 10 News reporter Rosh Lowe asked Roosevelt Delinois back in April.
“I would say that I love her, I am supporting her and I’m there,” he responded. “I’m fighting for her.”
Onyxia Delinois served in the U.S. Air Force Reserves and owns an insurance agency in Sunrise.
She was out running ahead of a group of joggers, who found her injured after the driver veered off the road, struck her, and fled around 7 a.m. that day, according to police.
Police are still searching for the driver responsible.
“We are looking for a vehicle that may have right damage to the vehicle on the front or the side, Miramar Police Officer Jose Rosales told Local 10 News in April.
Anyone with information that leads to an arrest can receive a reward of up to $5,000 by calling Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
A GoFundMe page was created to help the family with hospital expenses and Onyxia Delinois win the “most important race of her life.” That page can be found by clicking here.
