A driver from Spring Hill sustained minor injuries in a crash that involved three vehicles at an intersection in Tampa.
Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) Public Affairs Officer (PAO) Sgt. Steve Gaskins said that shortly before 6:15 a.m. on Jan. 2, a van driven by a 54-year-old man from Land O Lakes was traveling southbound in the right lane of Nebraska Avenue just north of Bearss Avenue while a pick-up towing a utility trailer driven by a 36-year-old man from Tampa was stopped in the right turn lane of Nebraska Avenue ahead of the van.
At the same time, a sedan driven by a 55-year-old man from Spring Hill was stopped in the right lane on Nebraska Avenue adjacent to the pick-up truck.
When its driver failed to stop, the van collided with the rear of the trailer pulled by the pick-up truck.
As a result, the van overturned and collided with the rear of the sedan driven by the Spring Hill man.
The driver of the van died at the scene.
The Spring Hill man and the driver of the pick-up truck each sustained minor injuries in the incident.
