A Fort Lauderdale woman is fighting for her life after police say she and a friend were the victims of a hit-and-run crash Wednesday night on Las Olas Boulevard.
Carolyn Bianco, 65, was taken to Broward General Medical Center in critical condition with a life-threatening head injury, police said. Her friend Victoria Kirby, 62, suffered relatively minor injuries, police said. Kirby was released from Broward General on Thursday afternoon.
The two were crossing East Las Olas Boulevard near Southeast 11th Avenue about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday when a dark-colored SUV hit them, according to police. The driver did not stop; the vehicle continued eastbound.
Police ask anyone with information about the crash to call Traffic Homicide Investigator Jonathan Graham at 954-828-5125 or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477).
