In a tragic incident in Pasco County, Florida, the Florida Highway Patrol is searching for a woman who fled the scene after her Chevrolet Tahoe crashed into a parked Honda Fit, resulting in the death of a 37-year-old man inside the home. The accident occurred shortly after 12:30 a. m. when the suspect lost control of her vehicle, which traveled more than 150 feet along the sidewalk before colliding with the Honda Fit.

Following the crash, she exited the Tahoe and ran away, leading to an appeal from authorities for anyone with information to come forward.

The Florida Highway Patrol is urging cooperation from the community to help apprehend the fleeing suspect. Anyone with information can contact the Florida Highway Patrol or Crime Stoppers for assistance.
