A pedestrian is dead after he was hit by two vehicles while crossing 4th Street North at 23rd Avenue North just after 9 p.m. on Christmas Eve in St. Petersburg.
Investigators said the 47-year-old was struck and killed by an SUV driving north in the curb lane. Then, while he was lying in the roadway, he was hit by a compact car.
Both vehicles initially pulled into the Baycare Urgent Care parking lot on 4th Street North. But then, police said the SUV driver sped off.
Police are searching for a small to mid-size Jeep SUV that may be red or maroon-colored. It will likely have front-end damage.
The driver of the second vehicle stayed in the parking lot and is cooperating with investigators.
