Tallahassee, FL : Fatal Lake County crash highlights difficulty in solving hit-and-run cases on Sunday, September 17th 2017

The night rain grew from an annoying spit to a hard shower as the scooter carrying a young couple new to Central Florida splashed homeward.

“Slow down, babe. I don’t think they’re gonna stop,” 18-year-old passenger Alley Swisher shouted in the ear of her boyfriend Patrick Burns, 26, as a white car rolled up to a dark intersection in east Lake County.

The car didn’t stop. As shown on an auto-repair shop’s security camera, it drove through a stop sign at Central Avenue and County Road 437, mowed over the scooter, then drove away. Burns, lying in the road, was run over by another car and died.
