An Ormond Beach driver was killed in a hit-and-run crash on Interstate 95 north in Flagler County before dawn Monday, blocking all northbound traffic for hours.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a Toyota Corolla driven by Raymond Almodovar, 68, left the road at about 5:45 a.m. and struck the guardrail near the State Road 415 overpass, between Old Dixie Highway and State Road 100. The car spun around and reentered the travel lane, where it was sideswiped by a Kia Forte.

Troopers said a Jeep Wrangler then struck the Corolla. According to the FHP report, that driver got out, then got back in and drove off. The FHP said it was searching for a 2007-2017 Wrangler, which should have extensive front end damage and is possibly missing the front bumper.
The Port Orange man who was driving the Kia was not injured and cooperated with the investigation.
Northbound traffic was diverted at Old Dixie Highway in Volusia County, backing up to almost Ormond Beach, until the accident was cleared. The interstate reopened after 10 a.m.
