ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Police in Florida were searching Saturday for a man suspected of driving a vehicle involved in a fiery hit-and-run crash that killed three Tampa Bay-area women.

St. Petersburg Police spokesman Mike Puetz said that Marquice Lamonz Anderson, 27, was being sought on warrants that include charges of vehicular homicide, leaving the scene of an accident involving death, driving on a suspended license and violation of probation.

Authorities said Anderson was driving a four-door Chrysler 200 the wrong way down a street early Thursday morning when it crashed into a Saturn with three female occupants.

Two of the women — Briana Lequinda Campbell, 23, and Jamesia Chera Santoria Lang, 21 — remained in the burning car and were pronounced dead at the scene. A third, Grace Lashawn Collie, 25, died at a Tampa hospital.
