Description
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Manatee County; Peter A. Dubensky, Judge. Octavious Cummings challenges his judgment and sentence for leaving the scene of an accident with death, contrary to section 316.027(1)(b), Florida Statutes (1997). We affirm. Two vehicles collided in the intersection of 9th Avenue and 15th Street in Bradenton at approximately 2:45 a.m. on December 27, 1998. There were no eyewitnesses to the accident other than the occupants of the two vehicles. Roosevelt Edwards, who was approaching the intersection, heard a ""thump"" and found a green car beside a pole with the doors open and the radio playing. He saw a black male running across a nearby grocery store parking lot. About 150 feet away from the green car, Edwards observed a small gray vehicle in a darkened field. When he approached the gray car, he saw the occupants and yelled for someone to call 911.
