According to the Florida Highway Patrol, 42-year-old Karen Plunkett was killed after being struck by two cars Wednesday night in St. Petersburg.
Karen Plunkett, 42, was killed while trying to cross 58th Avenue
North at 28th Street North in the Lealman area of St. Petersburg.
The driver of the first car that collided with Plunkett stopped to help but while she was on the ground on 58th Avenue, another car struck and killed her, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
That driver, who authorities said was Shannon Whitfield of Kenneth City, left the scene.
A witness followed him and Whitfield returned to the accident scene about a half hour later. He has been charged with leaving the scene of a deadly accident.
