HAVE YOU SEEN THIS CAR? Investigators need help to find driver in hit and run

Investigators say the red Camaro has damage to its passenger side door and a missing mirror.

Trish Routte with SWFL Crime Stoppers says when you get your license in Southwest Florida, you automatically agree to stay at the scene of any crash.

"You're mandated by law to do that and morally it's the right thing to do. You hit somebody. You injured somebody. You should at the very minimum stay on scene, call 911, try to render help...They're going to be going to jail as a consequence for that," Routte said.

If you have any information on the driver or car call 1-800-780-TIPS.
