|
A teenage girl was killed in Tampa, Florida on Thursday,
February 19, 2004 when she fell in front
of a truck while roller skating with friends
after the group had been drinking.
19 year old Vanessa Sperry-Rask was skating with two of her friends
along busy North Dale Mabry Highway at 4:20 a.m.
When they attempted to cross the street,
Vanessa fell down in front of a Ford pick-up truck
driven by Matthew Miller
of Tampa. The girl was immediately transported
to St. Joseph's Hospital, but she died shortly after
arriving there.
At the time of the accident there was a heavy fog
in the air, and while the three teenagers had been drinking,
it is not known if they were legally drunk.
