WENGNews writes, "TROOPERS HAVE IDENTIFIED THE MAN THAT WAS HIT BY AN S U V ON US 41 JUST NORTH OF SHAMROCK BOULEVARD IN VENICE TUESDAY NIGHT. 50 YEAR OLD MARK BARBER OF TAMPA WAS THE MAN WHO TRIED TO CROSS ALL SIX LANES OF THE BUSY ROAD JUST BEFORE 8PM WHEN HE WAS STRUCK BY 38 YEAR OLD GANGA PERSAUD’S CHEVY SUBURBAN. THE IMPACT SENT BARBER FLYING, AND HE WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD AT THE SCENE. TROOPERS SAY THAT BARBER WAS AT FAULT BECAUSE HE WAS NOT NEAR A CROSS WALK AT THE TIME. PERSAUD’S S U V DID SUFFER SOME $6000 DOLLARS IN DAMAGES, BUT HE WAS NOT INJURED."
