The 47-year-old driver of the trailer, from Seffner, was leaving a driveway at 10302 U.S. 92 when he turned into the path of the sedan, according to troopers.

The 30-year-old sedan driver, from Tampa, was unable to stop or slow down because he was speeding, troopers said, and crashed into the trailer. The sedan came to a final rest underneath the trailer.

Both men received minor injuries in the crash.
