TAMPA, Fla. — A deadly three-vehicle-crash caused a roadblock on I-4 in Hillsborough County on Monday afternoon.
According to Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), a Ford F250 was traveling westbound on I-4 in the center outside lane behind a Jeep Cherokee, traveling in the same lane and direction. A Kenworth dump truck was ahead of the Jeep Cherokee, also traveling westbound.
Near Mile Marker 9, traffic came to a stop, and the Cherokee and dump truck both stopped. The Ford F250 did not stop and rear-ended the Cherokee, which forced it forward, into the back of the dump truck.
A male passenger in the Cherokee suffered fatal injuries. The driver, a 34-year-old man from Lake Park, suffered a serious injury and two women were also seriously injured, according to FHP.
The driver in the F250 sustained a minor injury, and the Kenworth dump truck driver was unharmed.
