Monday, January 24, 2005
A 21-year-old University of South Florida student lost her life in a hit-and-run crash Sunday.
Tampa police identified the victim as Rikki Leigh Lewis, who was driving a 2000 GMC SUV.
Police said a car cut off Lewis at the 5100 block of East Fowler Avenue Sunday evening. They said she tried to avoid the collision but lost control and her SUV rolled over. Lewis was ejected and died at the scene.
According to police, 32-year-old Tracie Ann Elder slowed down after the crash but then sped off and did not return. Elder was later arrested for leaving the scene of an accident with a death involved.
Rikki was a friend of mine, and speaking on behalf of the entire Bull nation, I offer condolences to her family.
