IMMOKALEE, Fla. — A man is dead in Immokalee after being hit by car in fatal hit and run.

The man who has yet to be positively identified, was attempting to cross the westbound lane of New Market Road, as Ford Van traveling west approached Escambia Street.

The van collided with the pedestrian. Post collision, a second vehicle traveling east also hit the pedestrian.
