The Edinburg Police Department is searching for a vehicle involved in an auto-pedestrian hit-and-run.

The incident occurred on March 20 at around 9:03 p.m. in the 700 block of East Chapin Road.

According to a news release, Eric Lee Flores was riding a bicycle and traveling westbound in the eastbound lanes when he was struck by a dark-colored 1990s Chevrolet Silverado.

The vehicle is described as a single cab, stepside model with a chrome front bumper, gray rims, a light-colored repair patch on the driver’s side door, and a light-colored tailgate, according to the news release. The collision occurred with the front right portion of the truck.

The news release said video evidence indicated the passenger-side headlight was damaged during the incident. The passenger-side orange turn signal lens was recovered at the scene.

After the collision, the vehicle continued eastbound without stopping. A passerby captured video footage from a Tesla vehicle and contacted 911.

The news release said Flores was taken to DHR Health where he remains on life-sustaining medical support as a result of his injuries.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Edinburg Police Department at 956-289-7700 or Edinburg Crime Stoppers at 956-383-8477.
