Florida Highway Patrol is now looking for the driver of a Ford Taurus, after they say the driver did not stop after hitting a motorcyclist that had fallen in the road.

It happened around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday night, close to a bridge that's near South Tamiami Trail and Cedar Creek Drive.

That's close to Spring Creek Elementary School.

FHP says 28-year-old  Ryan Kinsey from El Paso, Texas had fallen off a motorcycle and became a pedestrian in the road.  That's when a northbound tan or gray Ford Taurus hit Kinsey while on the road.  He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Call *347, (239) 344-1730, or Crime Stoppers if you saw anything or have any information.
