Witnesses report the driver, who stopped briefly at the scene, was a woman with white hair and possibly a cane, who was driving a white, four door Mercedes sedan. The car likely has significant damage to the right front and a broken windshield.
If you have any information that can lead to the identification of the driver or the vehicle, please contact the Florida Highway Patrol at (813) 558 1800 or Crime Stoppers at **TIPS.

I am also a rider of a road bike and you always have to be aware of these idiots and the cars don't respect bikes under the law, so sad this happened and my prayers are with them.
