PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — A driver hit a 70-year-old woman while swerving to avoid a collision with another vehicle on Tuesday.
Florida Highway Patrol said a 2006 GMC pickup was traveling east on Moog Road around 10:35 a.m. when another vehicle pulled out of a 7-Eleven parking lot directly in front of the GMC.
To avoid a crash, the GMC swerved north and into the driveway of a CVS Pharmacy, striking a woman, 70, who was walking near the entrance. The GMC did not stop until it struck a power pole.
The victim was taken to a local hospital and later died from her injuries. The driver of the GMC, 47, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was also taken to a local hospital.
