Kelvin Smith, a 16-year-old Palm Coast resident, was killed in a hit-and-run crash on New Year's Eve as he rode his bicycle on Old Kings Road.

Traffic was shut down in both directions on Old Kings Road as FHP investigators investigated.

The pickup was seen continuing north on Old Kings Road, and the Florida Highway Patrol is seeking information on the identity of the driver.
