Troopers have found the vehicle connected to the fatal hit-and-run of a jogger on a rural Brevard County road Monday morning.
Jason Rodeghier, 39, was "out on his morning run and never came back," Florida Highway Patrol Sgt. Kim Montes said. He was struck after 4:30 a.m. on Satellite Boulevard near Dean Drive, just north of State Road 520. His body was found in a ditch after 7 a.m.
Troopers say they found the 1998 Jeep Cherokee thanks to an anonymous tip. The Jeep has left front damage consistent with the crash.
"We don't know, if this person (Rodeghier) had received immediate care, what his outcome could be," Montes said.
Anyone with information about this hit-and-run crash is urged to call the FHP at 407-737-2213 or Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS (8477).
