Woman killed in St. Pete hit-and-run crash

ST. PETERSBURG (FOX 13) - St. Pete police are looking for a driver who hit a woman and left her to die in the middle of the road.

It happened at about 1:30 this morning on 18th Avenue S and 18th Street South.  Police say Lisa Lee, 47, died at the hospital. 

St. Pete police spokeswoman Sandra Bentil says Lee was not using a crosswalk.

"That time of night is not a really heavy traffic time," Bentil said. "We just implore for people to use caution, you never know where anyone is crossing."

Officers don't have a lot to go on but they do say the vehicle that hit her was a white sedan.
