A man is dead after being struck twice at a Tampa intersection on Memorial Day.

Tampa police say the man, who was in his 50s, reportedly stopped and got out of his car around 11:30 p.m. Monday on North 40th Street before walking into the intersection with East Hillsborough Avenue.

There, officers say, he was hit by a gray sedan, possibly a Chevy Impala, that was driving west on Hillsborough Avenue. He was then struck again by a westbound motorcycle.

He died at the scene.

Investigators say the sedan drove away and didn't stop to help him. The motorcyclist stayed at the scene and was later taken to a local hospital to be treated for minor injuries.

Detectives are asking anyone who knows the identity of the sedan driver to call them at 813-231-6130.
