Troopers said the pedestrian, a 37-year-old Keystone Heights man, died at the scene.

Troopers said Friday that they were looking for a 2007 to 2012 Dodge Caliber sedan with a missing right-side mirror and damage to the right-side windshield, but FHP said Monday that investigators had expanded the search to include a 1996 to 2007 Plymouth Voyager, Dodge Caravan or Chrysler Town & Country minivan.
