An unidentified male pedestrian was killed early Friday morning after two cars struck him on Interstate 75 in Tampa, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Around 3:20 a.m., two drivers — Edward Davies, 61, of Land O' Lakes, in a 2000 GMC Arcadia, ahead of Keith Cork, 29, of Seffner, in a 2000 Chrysler van — were both heading southbound on I-75 in the center lane south of Fowler Avenue at the Bypass Canal, troopers said.

The pedestrian, who was standing in the center lane, was struck by both vehicles and died at the scene, the FHP said.

Davies was transported to Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel with minor injuries, the FHP said. Cork was not injured.

Troopers said the crash closed down the southbound lanes of I-75 until 7 a.m.
