PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) is looking for a hit-and-run driver who crashed into a parked car, sending it through the wall of a home and hitting a man who was inside.
Around 1 a.m. on Tuesday, the driver of a Chevy Tahoe traveling on US-41 lost control, smashing through a fence and into a parked Honda Fit, FHP said.

After the crash, the driver of the Chevy Tahoe got out of the vehicle and ran away. A witness described the driver as a white female who was approximately 5'7" and in her mid-30s with shoulder-length reddish-blonde hair.
