The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office found the vehicle responsible for a hit-and-run Saturday night in Lake Worth Beach.

The deadlycrash happened at around 10:52 p.m. at the 2400 block of 10th Avenue North when a black 2003-2007 Honda Accord was traveling eastbound on 10th Avenue North when the driver passed a slower-moving vehicle, changing lanes to get around it. As the Honda returned to the outside lane, it struck a pedestrian who was walking on or near the fog line of the eastbound lanes.

The impact sent the pedestrian airborne before they crashed into an aluminum fence. The victim came to rest on the pedestrian sidewalk on the south side of 10th Avenue North, just east of where the collision occurred.

After the crash, the Honda continued eastbound and fled the scene without stopping to render aid.

The pedestrian, described as a Black male, was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim's identity has not been released.

Deputies say the vehicle was located in the driveway of a home in Lake Worth Beach on Sunday evening.

The crash remains under investigation.
