The Florida Highway Patrol has identified a man who was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver early Monday morning in the parking lot of a Walgreens.
The victim, Ronald E. Upperdite, 42, of Coral Springs, was either standing or ''possibly lying in the roadway'' in the parking lot at 2711 W. Sunrise Boulevard near Fort Lauderdale when he was struck, FHP said.
A witness saw a white van with a blue stripe leave the parking lot at the time of the 5:45 a.m. accident.
Upperdite was taken to Broward General Medical Center where he was pronounced dead shortly before 7 a.m.
Anyone who saw the incident is asked to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
The "possibly lying in the roadway" made this article a keeper. It surprisingly has more details than previous articles. Could the Herald be recruiting better writers?
