Woman, dog hit and killed during walk

Troopers with the Florida Highway Patrol said they are trying to locate a driver that hit and killed a senior citizen and her dog, then took off.

The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating after they say a woman and her dog were killed in an early morning hit-and-run crash.

This happened on Friday around 6 a.m. along John Young Parkway near Hunter's Creek Blvd.

Troopers said the victim was walking from the west side to the east side of John Young Parkway, when a white sedan may have barely hit her. But as the woman kept walking, a dark SUV then hit and killed her. Troopers said the drivers of both vehicles left the scene.

Investigators with the Florida Highway Patrol are investigating after troopers said a woman and her dog were struck and killed while crossing John Young Parkway early Friday morning.

The woman was walking inside a marked crosswalk. It does not appear that any other vehicles struck the woman. 

"She’s run over by a darker colored SUV larger type vehicle – we don’t know what kind of vehicle this is -- in the center lane and thrown towards the inside left lane where she comes to rest," FHP Lt Kim Montes said. "Unfortunately, her small terrier-type dog that she was walking on a leash did not survive either."
