Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is asking for help to find the person they say is responsible for a fatal hit and run in Plant City.

A truck was seen traveling eastbound on West Trapnell Road near Mud Lake Road at approximately 12:22 a.m. on June 25. Then, HCSO said, they later found a dead man in the 2000 block of that area.

Detectives are searching for a pickup truck with a silver cab and a white truck bed. According to HCSO, the vehicle also has orange running lights above the windshield. Detectives believe the truck is likely to have damage to the front passenger area.

“A driver should never flee from the scene of a crash,” Sheriff Chad Chronister said. “We need the public to keep an eye out for this truck and let us know if they see it. The victim’s family deserves answers.”

Anyone with information is urged to call the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office immediately at 813-247-8200.
