Dramatic car rollover leaves driver in critical condition

Frightening crash video — a car flipping over several times — off the road and into a hotel parking lot after being struck by a van trying to turn into oncoming traffic. ABC’s Erielle Reshef has the latest on both drivers.

Police in Florida are searching for the person responsible for this terrifying hit and run.

This hotel security camera captures everything — a van tries to make a left turn into a gas station driving right in the path of an oncoming car. That vehicle hits the van and spins out of control flipping over at least four times.

The out of control car barrels toward a hotel pool but slams into a concrete wall finally landing on its roof. The driver — a 19-year-old man was rushed to the hospital and is in critical condition.

“People were hollering call 9-1-1 and it was just a bit of chaos at first,” said hotel guest Kathy Brown.

The crash — shocking hotel guests… as several people rush to help the driver.

“I didn’t know what to do until somebody came with an ambulance, only thing we had to wait on. He was bruised up pretty bad.”

Authorities say the driver who caused the accident fled the scene waiting just five seconds before taking off.

“Unbelievable. Even if there’s nothing you can do, you need to stop and see if you can do something,” said Brown.

Anyone with information about that van or its driver is asked to contact FHP at (941) 751-8530 or Crime Stoppers.
