A pedestrian, Catherine Scott Strazdins of St. Petersburg, was walking in the intersection at 41st Avenue N when she was struck by the Checy, according to FHP. Troopers said Brunson then drove away.

With St. Petersburg in the midst of another massive dump of partially treated sewage into Tampa Bay, Mayor Rick Kriseman took to Facebook to defend the discharges and pledge major upgrades to the city's inadequate sewer system.
