Two hit and run pedestrian
TAMPA BAY, Fla. — Law enforcement officers in the Tampa Bay area investigated two fatal hit-and-run accidents involving pedestrians.

Troopers determined that two vehicles traveling west through Plant City struck the man. The first vehicle continued without stopping. The second driver stopped. A 21-year-old man from Plant City is believed to be the operator of a 2008 Infiniti G37 that ran over the man and refused to stop. A 55-year-old woman was the second driver. She stopped immediately after hitting the victim. Police did not charge the woman who stopped with any crime.
In Sun City Center, a 25-year-old man died while walking on the eastbound side of Sun City Center Boulevard around 4:00 a.m. Thursday. The troopers from the Florida Highway Patrol assigned to investigate the crash said that the accident scene was in the area of Katie Stanaland Road.
