HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — One person died after a crash on I-4 in Hillsborough County early this morning, Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) said.
FHP said a Sedan was traveling west on I-4 in the outside lane at a "very low speed" when a tractor-trailer overtook the car and collided with the rear around 1:05 a.m. on Tuesday.
The impact of the crash propelled both the Sedan and the tractor-trailer to the inside shoulder of the highway. The tractor-trailer overturned as a result.
The driver of the Sedan, a 31-year-old man, was transported to a local hospital. He later passed away from his injuries.
The tractor-trailer driver, a 42-year-old man, was uninjured in the crash.
