Pedestrian Traffic Fatality

On Thursday, Oct 17 at about 7:30 p.m, a pedestrian, Quynh Van Pham (DOB 06/05/1930), was walking westbound across 34th Street North, mid-block, in the 3400 block.

A 2018 Audi, four door sedan, was southbound on 34th Street North in the curb lane. The driver braked and swerved to try to avoid the pedestrian. The right front corner of the Audi struck Pham, and he suffered life-threatening injuries. He died later at Bayfront Health St. Petersburg.

The driver was not injured, and he stopped and cooperated with the investigation. Alcohol was not a factor and the investigation is continuing.
