Police: Construction workers injured in hit-and-run crash on I-4

ORLANDO, Fla. - The Orlando Police Department is investigating after a crash on Interstate 4 (I-4) in Orlando sent 4 construction workers and a driver to area hospitals. The crash prompted a portion of I-4 to be closed for a while on Friday morning.

According to the department, the crash happened in the eastbound lanes near Princeton Street. Officials say a newer model dark-colored SUV was traveling eastbound on I-4 near the Par St. exit when it struck a 2016 black Hyundai Sonata. The driver of the Sonata lost control and struck a wall, then it bounced off the wall, driving into the lane closure where the employees were working. 

"The Hyundai Sonata struck the 4 workers who were transported to two different hospitals," police said.

Two victims are in serious condition and the other two suffered less serious injuries. The SUV involved fled the scene, according to police. 

The investigation is ongoing.
