A pedestrian was struck and killed in a hit and run Wednesday evening in Escambia County.

At 6:35 p.m., an unknown vehicle struck a 34-year old Escambia County woman as she was crossing Pace Boulevard south of West Lee Street. While she was lying in the roadway, she was hit again by a sedan driven by a 51-year old Pensacola man. He was not injured.

The woman was transported by Escambia County EMS to Baptist Hospital where she passed away a short time later.

The Florida Highway said the vehicle that fled may have been a gray Dodge Caravan with damage to the front of the vehicle and the front windshield.

    Not only hit once, but twice. How awful. :( Also: I wish you were allowed to print victim’s names. I always worry and stress that it is someone I know or am familiar with. (but yes I understand why you don’t/can’t)
