Delray Beach Police release new information on hit and run

The Delray Beach Police Department is looking for a different vehicle than it initially reported to the public in a hit-and-run crash that injured Boca Raton Police Detective Christian Mammarella.

Jeffrey Messer, Delray Beach Police Department public information officer, said in an e-mail early this afternoon that traffic investigators “are looking for a vehicle that is possibly equipped with wrap-around style front headlights, and which has/had a damaged windshield and possible right front body damage.”

He said that on Aug. 31, the Delray Beach Police Department had released a video that showed a late model Volkswagen Passat traveling north on Dixie Highway in Delray Beach.

“We asked for the public’s assistance in finding this vehicle and helping us identify the owner/driver of this car as it was suspected to have been involved in the crash that severely injured Det. Mammarella. This vehicle has been found. The owner/driver has been identified and it has been determined that this vehicle was not involved in the crash we are investigating.”

Anyone with information on any vehicle that matches this description with damage within the past two weeks is asked to call Traffic Homicide Investigator Justin Reed at 561-243-7855, DBPD’s anonymous tips line at 561-243-7839, or Crime Stoppers of Palm Beach County.

Delray Beach Police Department Public Information Officer Jeffrey Messer can be reached at 561-243-7841.
