PORT SAINT JOHN, Florida – The owner of a vehicle that may have been involved in a fatal hit-an-run crash on Wednesday night in Port St. John, Florida has contacted law enforcement.

Around 9:30 p.m. on June 22, 2016, FHP troopers responded to a call regarding a deceased person on US-1 near Fay Boulevard in unincorporated Brevard County.
