RIVERVIEW, Fla. — A fourth person has died as a result of Wednesday's crash on I-75.
Three people were killed Wednesday in the crash involving two vehicles on Interstate 75 in Hillsborough County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
FHP on Thursday morning announced the fourth person died from injuries.
Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office deputies and FHP troopers responded to the crash shortly after 3 p.m. Wednesday, just north of the Selmon Expressway. All southbound lanes were blocked but have since reopened.
According to FHP, two vehicles were traveling south on the interstate in adjacent lanes when a pickup truck attempted to change lanes and collided with another pickup truck.
The first truck went into the median and overturned, according to an FHP report. The occupants were thrown from the vehicle and none were wearing seatbelts, FHP said. The 36-year-old driver and two passengers—a 34-year-old woman and a 12-year-old boy—died. A third passenger, a 14-year-old boy, died Thursday morning.
The second truck came to a controlled stop in the emergency lane, according to FHP. The occupants of that truck were not injured.
