Two Broward Sheriff’s deputies and a civilian were injured after their cars were struck by a hit-and-run driver in Lauderdale Lakes Saturday night.

According to the Broward Sheriff’s Office, a driver in a red GMC pickup truck ran a red light at NW 31st Avenue and NW 26th Street at about 10 p.m. and hit a marked Sheriff’s Office vehicle, injuring the two deputies in the car.

The driver of the pickup truck also hit another car, causing that person’s vehicle to roll. The driver of the pickup truck then ran off.

Broward Sheriff’s deputies are still searching for the driver, the agency said Sunday.

One of the deputies was taken to a hospital by the Sheriff’s Office aviation unit, while the other deputy and the civilian were driven to a hospital.

All three were released from the hospital on Sunday and are recovering from their injuries, the Sheriff’s Office said.
