Lake Clarke Shores police says it’s investigating a hit-and-run that left a family of four injured on Christmas Eve.
On Dec. 24, at around 8 p.m., Palm Beach County Fire Rescue responded to the 7000 block of West Lake Drive for reports of a car accident. A family riding in a golf cart had been struck by a pickup truck.
Authorities said the truck fled the scene. All four family members were given emergency care at the scene and then transported to a local trauma center.
Lake Clarke Shores police have not provided a description of the vehicle as of Thursday. But WPTV’s Ethan Stein obtained surveillance footage from a neighbor, showing a truck driving away after a loud noise around the time the crash took place.

Nicole Quattrocchi said her family of four were the victims of the crash. She said her family sustained injuries ranging from road rash to broken bones and concussions.
“It was terrifying, just completely terrifying,” she said.
Quattrocchi, who said she’s dealing with a brain bleed from the accident, spoke from her son’s hospital room. She said her family, including her husband Steven Quattrocchi and two children, were driving back from dinner on Christmas Eve and looking at Christmas lights around the neighborhood before a car hit their golf cart.
