Clearwater Police and Clearwater Fire & Rescue responded to a vehicle versus pedestrian crash this evening at Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard and Lake Avenue.
The call came in just before 9 p.m. on Monday, December 16, 2019.
A adult male pedestrian was taken to Bayfront Health St. Petersburg with life-threatening injuries.
All westbound traffic is being diverted at this time.
Eastbound traffic is not affected except the left turn lane.
Imvestogators say the driver of the vehicle who hit the pedestrian remained on scene and is cooperating with the investigation.
Wondering if that was the same Jeep that hit the Bicyclist in Dunedin , to much damage to have just hit a pedestrian.
He was a Lyft/Uber driver and stayed at the scene. I drove by around 10pm that night and the driver was still there. A cop told me yesterday the pedestrian was highly intoxicated and jay walked in front of the vehicle. It was not the drivers fault at all. He didn’t have an update yet on the pedestrians condition on whether he lived.
