The men, a 51-year-old and a 48-year-old, were crossing the northbound lane of SR 555 heading westbound at 11:30 p.m. last night when they were struck by a 2003 Oldsmobile driven by Locrastia S. Parker, 37, of Lehigh Acres, according to the FHP.
Officials identified the 48-year-old as Barry D. McGee of Clearwater.
