Hallandale Beach Woman Arrested After Hit-and-Run; Surveillance Video Contradicts 911 Account

Hallandale Beach police have arrested Francesca Yesbick, 37, in connection with a pedestrian hit-and-run that occurred shortly before midnight on July 18 in the 600 block of West Hallandale Beach Boulevard. Exclusive surveillance video obtained by Local 10 News shows a white vehicle striking a person crossing the street, with the driver allegedly fleeing the scene immediately afterward. The victim sustained serious injuries but survived the collision.

Following the incident, Yesbick called 911 to report witnessing a man struck by a vehicle in Hallandale. During her call, she described the striking vehicle as a green Honda and was unable to provide a specific address for the crash location. However, the surveillance footage clearly depicted a white car involved in the collision, creating a significant discrepancy in her account of events.

Detectives utilized city surveillance cameras and license plate reader technology to identify the vehicle and track down Yesbick over the course of nearly a month. The video evidence proved instrumental in reconstructing the sequence of events and establishing the vehicle’s involvement in the accident. Yesbick eventually turned herself in to the Hallandale Beach Police Department.

She faces charges of leaving the scene of an accident, according to jail records. The surveillance footage documented the crash, captured the vehicle’s appearance, and provided visual confirmation of the driver’s departure from the scene.
