DUNEDIN A 48-year-old New Port Richey woman died Sunday, one day after she walked into traffic and was struck on Tampa Road west of U.S. 19. Deborah K. Carey suffered head and internal injuries after she was hit about 1 p.m. Saturday by a sport utility vehicle driven by Irene Arakas-Psomos, 38, of Palm Harbor, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. She was flown to Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg where she died about 11:30 a.m. Sunday. Officers said Carey was standing on the Tampa Road median, when she stepped in front of driver Arakas-Psomos' westbound SUV. The driver tried to swerve to avoid Carey, but Carey hit the SUV's windshield and left mirror before landing on Tampa Road, the patrol said. As Arakas-Psomos swerved, her car struck another westbound car driven by Judith B. Drake, 48, of Palm Harbor. No charges have been filed. CLEARWATER Winning ticket bought at 7-Eleven Someone who bought a winning Fantasy 5 ticket at a local convenience store is $96,239 richer as a result of Sunday'sdrawing. That ticket holder bought the quick-pick ticket at the 7-Eleven at 5860 Roosevelt Blvd. and will split the top prize of $192,477 with someone who bought a winning ticket at a 7-Eleven in St. Cloud in Osceola County.
