TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Police Department (TPD) said it has arrested a suspect in connection with a fatal hit-and-run crash.
Police said the 40-year-old woman was struck by a vehicle traveling southbound on N. 50th St. around 8 p.m. on Oct. 20.
The vehicle, believed to be a gray SUV, fled the scene and left the woman in the roadway, per the report.
TPD said a second car subsequently struck the woman, but the driver of that car immediately stopped, called 911 and remained on the scene.
Detectives were able to find pieces and parts of the car believed to have struck the woman. They identified the car as a Volkswagen Tiguan, TPD said.
On Oct. 21, a Tampa Police officer saw the vehicle at an ATM near W. Hillsborough Avenue and North Armenia Avenue. Officers then found the driver, Jeramey Sanders at a nearby store and detained him, TPD said.
Sanders was charged with leaving the scene of a crash with death and taken to jail.
