A 2017 Dodge minivan, driven by Clearwater resident Stephen C. Sarnoff (DOB 09/17/1952), was traveling northbound, below the speed limit, on 4th Street North's curb lane, when Marvin Hardy (DOB 10/06/1958) stepped into the road, froze, then tried to return to the curb. Sarnoff did not see Hardy and swerved, but the front right side of his minivan struck him. Hardy's head hit the windshield and he fell onto the sidewalk.

Sarnoff was not hurt and stayed at the scene, but Hardy was transported to Bayfront Health in critical condition.

Investigators have not been able to locate Hardy's next of kin, so detectives are asking anyone who knows him, to contact SPPD.

No charges have been filed.
