Woman struck by vehicle, badly hurt

DADE CITY -- A female pedestrian was seriously injured when she was struck by a vehicle Wednesday night, Pasco County Fire Rescue officials said. The accident happened about 7:30 p.m. at Tuskeegee Avenue and Old Lakeland Highway.

The woman, believed to be in her 50s, was flown to St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa. The victim's name was not available. Authorities were investigating the accident late Wednesday.

Bank robber wore jacket, ski mask

HOLIDAY -- An image of a man who robbed the Huntington Bank on U.S. 19 on Tuesday shows him wearing a green camouflage jacket, blue jeans, a ski mask and a beige baseball cap. The picture, taken from a video surveillance camera, shows the robber holding a gun in one hand and a bag of money in the other. The man walked into the Huntington Bank at 2865 U.S. 19 about 9:20 a.m. and started yelling threats and obscenities, the Pasco County Sheriff's Office said. Brandishing a silver-colored handgun, he jumped over the tellers' counter and grabbed an undisclosed amount of cash.

He then ran out of the bank and rode away on a black bicycle, reports said. He might have abandoned the bike in favor of a newer model dark green Mustang, according to the Sheriff's Office.

The suspect was described as a white man in his 30s, about 5 foot 9 and 185 to 190 pounds.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at (800) 854-2862, ext. 7427.
