Tampa Police Investigate Fatal Hit & Run on N. 50th St

TAMPA, FL. (OCTOBER 21, 2025) - - The Tampa Police Department is investigating a tragic hit-and-run crash that claimed the life of a pedestrian on Monday, October 20, 2025, near N 50th St. and E 30th Ave. At approximately 8:00 pm, a woman in her mid-40s was struck by a vehicle traveling southbound on N. 50th St. The striking vehicle, believed to be a gray SUV, fled the scene, leaving the victim in the roadway. 

A second vehicle subsequently struck the victim, but the driver of that car immediately stopped, called 911, and remained at the scene to cooperate with officers. 

Detectives are actively pursuing all leads in this case. They recovered key pieces of evidence at the scene, and they are currently working with business partners in the area to review any video footage that could help them develop information that will lead to the identification and location of the driver who fled the scene. We are committed to ensuring justice is served for the victim and her loved ones.

Providing information is crucial to holding the person responsible accountable and any additional information, no matter how small it may seem, could be the key to delivering justice.
