HUDSON, Fla. — A 59-year-old woman from Hudson died after authorities said she was killed during a hit-and-run crash Wednesday night.
At 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 30, a white, larger-style SUV was heading northbound on U.S.-19 in Pasco County, the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) said in a news release.
At the same time, the 59-year-old woman was south of Country Club Drive trying to walk across the highway, troopers said. The woman walked into the path of the SUV and was hit by the vehicle.
FHP said the SUV continued to drive northbound without stopping or assisting the woman. She was taken to a nearby hospital, where she later died due to her injuries.
Troopers have not yet identified the driver but are asking anyone with information regarding the crash to call *FHP or Crime stoppers at **TIPS.
A state report says hundreds of frail elderly nursing home residents were stacked side by side, head to toe in a small church with no working air conditioning or refrigerator during Hurricane Helene.
