A teen was taken to a hospital Wednesday night after Tampa police said he was struck by a vehicle.
Police said the crash happened on the Cass Street Bridge in downtown Tampa. The 17-year-old pedestrian suffered serious injuries, according to the Tampa Police Department.
Authorities said the driver, who was in a black Mercedes, remained on scene and was cooperating with the investigation.
