A 67-year-old woman died early Sunday morning from injuries suffered the night before when troopers say she was struck by a hit-and-run driver in the Town ‘N’ Country area of western Hillsborough County.
The Florida Highway Patrol reported that the New Port Richey woman was walking in a travel lane of Hillsborough Avenue, east of Reflections Club Drive, shortly after 8 p.m. Saturday, when she was struck by the car. She was transported to a nearby hospital with what troopers described as serious injuries.
