LAKE CITY — A pedestrian hit by two vehicles died in an accident. The incident occurred last week in Lake City and is being investigated as a hit and run.
Hernan Figuroa, 67, walked directly into the path of a vehicle at the intersection of US Highway 90 and SE Defender Drive. The right-side mirror of the first vehicle, a car, struck Figuroa as the driver tried to avoid striking the victim with his car.
As Figuroa attempted to get up, a second vehicle, reported to be a tractor-trailer truck, struck him. However, the second vehicle made no attempt to stop, according to the Florida Highway Patrol in a published report from First Coast News. The report states witnesses could not identify any markings on the truck to assist investigators.
