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.

On Monday, March 23, the city of Edinburg released the following video showing the suspect vehicle:

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.
