A Tennessee woman has been taken into custody after authorities said she struck two teens on a motorized scooter in Hudson and then fled the scene.<\/p>\n
Kelsie Renea Moorman, 25, was taken into custody Oct. 20 in Pinellas County on two warrants for leaving the scene of a crash with serious injuries, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. Each count carried a $25,000 bond.<\/p>\n
Troopers said the crash happened around 10:10 p.m. Oct. 12 at U.S. 19 and New York Avenue in Hudson.<\/p>\n
A Chevrolet pickup truck traveling north on U.S. 19 collided with a motorized scooter heading east on New York Avenue, FHP said. The scooter was being operated by a 16-year-old Hudson boy who was carrying a 15-year-old passenger from New Port Richey.<\/p>\n
The truck’s driver fled the scene, troopers said.<\/p>\n
Over several days, troopers worked to identify evidence and the suspect driver. Moorman of Memphis, Tennessee, fled to her home state after the crash, where she was located through a collaboration between the Florida Highway Patrol and the Tennessee Highway Patrol, FHP said.<\/p>\n
Tennessee troopers helped recover the vehicle, and warrants were issued for Moorman’s arrest.<\/p>\n
The two juveniles suffered serious injuries and remain hospitalized, troopers said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Tennessee woman has been taken into custody after authorities said she struck two teens on a motorized…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19391,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[1994,9189,618,14931,1338,596,202,204,203,199,201,200],"class_list":["post-19390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-st-petersburg","tag-crashes","tag-crimes","tag-florida-highway-patrol","tag-new-port-richey","tag-pasco-county","tag-pinellas-county","tag-st-pete","tag-st-pete-headlines","tag-st-pete-news","tag-st-petersburg","tag-st-petersburg-headlines","tag-st-petersburg-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19390"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19390\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
