The Florida Highway Patrol reported that a 35-year-old man from Spring Hill was driving a Honda Civic on southbound I-75 around 5:37 a.m. when he was involved in a single-vehicle crash. Subsequently, a Mazda driven by a 20-year-old woman from Kentucky collided with a Nissan Pathfinder driven by a 22-year-old woman from Brandon. Both the Honda and the Mazda drivers were outside their vehicles after the initial collisions. A 41-year-old woman from Brandon was behind the wheel of a Chevy Traverse that then struck the Honda, causing the driver to be thrown off the bridge into the Alafia River, resulting in fatal injuries.
