HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. – Traffic came to a standstill on SR-574 Friday morning following a violent two-vehicle crash west of Chastain Road. At approximately 10:00 AM, a Chevy Trax driven by a 74-year-old woman from Tampa was heading eastbound when it suddenly crossed the center line.
According to state troopers, the SUV entered the opposing lane and struck a westbound Ford F350 nearly head-on. The truck, which was being driven by a 25-year-old Lakeland man, was towing a trailer at the time of the impact.
The force of the collision caused both vehicles to spin out across the asphalt, ultimately coming to a rest in a position that completely blocked the highway.
