HERNANDO COUNTY, Fla. — A Hernando County crash left two people dead on Sunday afternoon, according to officials.
The Florida Highway Patrol said a Ford Focus was traveling east on SR-50 around 1:49 p.m. when it turned left into the path of a tractor-trailer heading west. As a result, the tractor-trailer struck the Ford.
The Ford's driver, a 72-year-old man, along with his passenger, an 86-year-old woman, both died during the crash.
The tractor-trailer's driver, a 66-year-old man from Waterloo, Iowa, was uninjured.

"I cried, of course, because I've worked very hard getting it nice, which has been difficult for me since I lost my husband and being alone,” Kelly Welty said.
Welty's mobile home lost its roof during Hurricane Milton. She said it was the only one in the Buena Vista community to get totaled by a tornado.
