Plant City Police Department is searching for a driver involved in a fatal hit-and-run on Charlie Taylor Road last night.
Police received a call around 7:30 p.m. and rushed to the scene where they found the body of a Hispanic man in his mid 40s to mid 50s approximately 1,000 feet west of Charlie Taylor Road.

There is no driver or passenger information at this time. This is active investigation and additional information will come as it is released.
