Pickup truck fatally strikes male pedestrian in Tampa
TAMPA, FL – A 35-year-old man walking along a shopping plaza off S. Howard Avenue and W. Horatio Street lost his life after he was struck by a pickup truck Tuesday.
This crash happened before 3 a.m., WTSP reports. Tampa Police said the driver of the 2013 Chevy HD 2500 pickup truck, did not come to a complete stop when he struck the pedestrian.
An ambulance driver rushed the male pedestrian to a hospital, where he later passed away.
Officers and crews closed the intersection for the scene clearance and investigation process, and have reopened the area since.
Facing the unexpected loss of a family member is one of the most painful experiences in this lifetime, especially if it was caused by another person’s reckless actions. If your family member’s life was cut short by a crash or other personal injury event that was not their fault, pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit could give you a chance to obtain justice for your loved one. While the money you receive as a result cannot erase the tragedy that occurred, the compensation can certainly account for lost income and medical expenses built prior to your loved one’s passing and provide financial stability.
