Hernando: Hernando digest

A Hernando County man was killed Saturday in a hit-and-run accident that has left authorities searching for the driver of a red truck. Martin Maxwell Foster, 38, of 2221 Mariner Blvd. in Spring Hill was driving south on U.S. 301 near Ridge Manor about 6 p.m. when witnesses say a red Nissan pickup traveling in the opposite direction turned left in front of Foster onto Richardson Boulevard, a Florida Highway Patrol report said. Foster swerved to avoid hitting the truck and lost control on the road's west shoulder. His 1991 Ford truck overturned several times, and he was thrown from the vehicle, a report said. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The red pickup that hit Foster, which was carrying a freezer in its back, continued west on Richardson.
