Driver arrested after fatal hit-and-run in Fort Lauderdale

FORT LAUDERDALE — A man is dead and another person was arrested after a hit-and-run occurred in Broward County early Saturday morning.

Fort Lauderdale Police arrested 48-year-old Max Fleury and charged him with failing to stop for an accident involving death, driving with a suspended license and operating a vehicle without a license. He is also under investigation for DUI, FLPD noted.

Around 12:29 a.m., FLPD responded to a vehicle vs. pedestrian accident along the 900 block of West Sunrise Boulevard. Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue transported the victim — who was on a bike at the time of the crash — to Broward Health Medical Center, where he died. The victim has not yet been identified.

The suspect — identified on Saturday evening as Fleury — left the scene; however, officers found a vehicle consistent with a crash and conducted a traffic stop just minutes later.

Fleury was then arrested and booked into BSO Main Jail.
