ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Police in St. Pete say a driver hit and killed a pedestrian along 4th Street North, then crashed into a building.

The man died at the scene. The female driver was hospitalized.
The view from SkyFOX showed black skid marks veering across the roadway near the crash site. The Impreza came to rest under an overhang against the building.
