Man Killed After Jumping From Lyft On I-95

HALLANDALE BEACH, FL — A 48-year-old man was killed over the weekend when he apparently jumped from a moving Lyft vehicle on Interstate 95 and was struck by an oncoming vehicle just south of Hallandale Beach Boulevard, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

"The vehicle that struck the deceased and failed to remain on scene is still at large," said Lt. Yanko Reyes of FHP.

The incident happened shortly after 8 p.m. Sunday as the Lyft vehicle, a black Chevrolet, was heading south. A crash report said the passenger jumped out of one of the windows and landed in the right lane of traffic.

"It's still unclear as to the behavior of the person that jumped from the Lyft vehicle," Reyes told Patch.

The FHP did not release the man's name but said he was from the Lauderdale Lakes area. He was taken to Aventura Hospital, where he died, Reyes said.

Reyes said the vehicle that hit the Lyft passenger was last seen southbound on I-95. The case remains under investigation. To report a tip, call dial *347.
