TAMPA — A 28-year-old Brandon man was fatally injured when he was hit by two vehicles on Interstate 75 early Monday after stepping out of an Uber car that was taking him home, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

The name of the victim was not immediately released because relatives had not been notified.

The incident occurred about 1:45 a.m. after the passenger became agitated and the Uber driver — Tiffany Pittman, 29, of Brooksville — pulled to the side of the Interstate near its intersection with I-4, the Highway Patrol said.

Pittman had picked up her passenger at a restaurant in Brooksville, where two unidentified men placed the him into her car. The passenger was intoxicated, the Highway Patrol said.

As Pittman was headed south on I-75, her passenger became agitated and she attempted to stop the vehicle on the outside shoulder, the Highway Patrol said.

The passenger left the vehicle, stepped into the adjacent travel lane and was struck by two vehicles — a 2015 Nissan Versa driven by Kayla M. Montgomery, 20, of Tampa, and a 2017 Nissan SUV driven by Alan Weeks, 55, of Land O' Lakes.

The passenger later died from his injuries later at Tampa General Hospital.
