PLANT CITY, Fla. — Two men were killed Saturday in a head-on collision involving three vehicles on State Road 39 in Plant City.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a Subaru SUV traveling south attempted to pass another vehicle south of East County Line Road and collided head-on with a northbound Chrysler minivan. The impact caused one or both vehicles to rotate and strike a Ford F-250 towing a horse trailer that was traveling behind the Subaru.
