52-year-old Artemus Leon Holley was killed in a hit-and-run accident that happened at an intersection today. The unidentified driver who hit him ran a stop sign and fled the scene on foot.
The Tampa Police Department said that the accident happened early this morning when a Jeep was being driven erratically with its headlights off. The vehicle entered the area of N 26th Street and E Columbus Drive. Officers activated their emergency equipment so that they could make a stop but the Jeep fled north. Officers broke the pursuit, as they did not want the incident to get out of hand in those conditions.
Minutes later, the same Jeep got into a crash at an intersection. Police said that the driver sped through a stop sign and immediately collided with another car. It was reported that the Jeep was a rental vehicle at the time. The driver fled on foot. The passenger has not cooperated with police. Artemus Leon Holley lost his life in the accident.
