Tampa, Fla.(Newsradio 970 WFLA)-Thirty year-old Ivan Martinez has been identified as the Tampa Bay area's latest pedestrian to die in an accident.
Investigators say Martinez was attempting to cross West Waters Avenue, at Woodland Corporation Boulevard, as a car was traveling westbound on Waters. Martinez apparently walked from the north shoulder directly into the path of the vehicle.
The driver of the car, 49 year-old Mario Raul Falcon Ramos, attempted to avoid hitting the man by applying the brakes. He was not able to stop and hit Martinez. The vehicle knocked Martinez 170 feet west of the scene.
Ramos is not facing charges in connection with the crash.
