PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — The Florida Highway Patrol is asking for the public’s help to locate the driver wanted in a fatal Pasco County hit-and-run early Sunday morning.
The unknown driver was traveling eastbound on State Road 54 at about 12:21 a.m., when a 70-year-old Zephyrhills man attempted to cross. The pedestrian walked into the path of the vehicle and was struck, a patrol report stated.
The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver first stopped at the crash scene, then fled eastbound on SR 54.
A witness described the vehicle as a silver Nissan sports sedan.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call *FHP (*347) or Crime Stoppers at **TIPS.
When debris from a tractor struck their vehicle on I-75, Denise and Mike Brennan were told by a state contractor that "they will take care of it." Now, more than six months later, the Brennans are still $7000 out-of-pocket for repairs and rentals.
