Troopers search for hit-and-run driver

Troopers in Manatee County are looking for the driver of a pickup truck that hit a pedestrian who was trying to cross U.S. Highway 41 around 6:30 a.m. Monday.

A day after a Bradenton woman died following a hit-and-run crash, troopers say they believe they've found the pickup truck involved in the deadly crash.

On Tuesday morning, troopers said a tip led them to the Ford pickup truck. It was located at 3608 16th Street West and matches the suspect vehicle description, and also has damage consistent to being involved in Monday's crash.
