A Fort Myers woman died in a tragic hit and run in Lehigh Acres, Sunday. The deadly car crash happened at around three o'clock in the morning between the intersection of State Road -82 and Ray Ave.

But the passenger in his car, a 42-year old woman, wasn’t wearing a seatbelt and got launched from the car. She later died at lee memorial hospital.
They say the driver of the second car left the scene of the crash. Troopers believe a white pickup truck came to get them. If you have information regarding the crash you're asked to contact crime stoppers or the Florida Highway Patrol.
