CITRUS COUNTY, Fla. — A one-year-old was killed, and a driver was seriously injured in a Citrus County crash on Monday.
The Florida Highway Patrol said a 32-year-old man was driving a Chrysler 200 north on North Croft Avenue shortly before 7 p.m. when he lost control.
The sedan then left the road and entered the outside shoulder before striking a utility pole, tree and guide wires.
The driver and baby were both seriously injured and taken to local hospitals. The baby later passed away due to her injuries.
'Cruise lights' on Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office patrol cars raise questions, confusion among drivers
Every driver knows that when you see red and blue flashing lights on a patrol car, you slow down, pull over, or get out of the way.
But in Hillsborough County, drivers will also now see deputies with their lights on, but not flashing. They're called "cruise lights," and the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) recently implemented their use on all patrol vehicles.
