ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — A crash Friday night in St. Augustine left a man dead after he departed the vehicle he was in and crossed State Road 16, according to Florida Highway Patrol.
A sedan driven by a 71-year-old woman was traveling eastbound on State Road 16, west of South Francis Road., at about 8:25 p.m. and hit the pedestrian, a 29-year-old man. It occurred about 13 miles northwest of another fatal crash on U.S. 1.
According to witnesses, the pedestrian was in a verbal altercation within a vehicle and exited when it slowed down. He ran directly in the path of the woman's sedan "in a northwesterly direction" and was struck, the report said.
