PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — An elderly man was killed in a car crash on Saturday morning in Pasco County, the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) said.
At 10 a.m. on Dec. 14, an 83-year-old Dade City man driving a Ford F-150 was heading westbound on Ashbrook Road, while an 87-ear-old man from Ridge Manor driving a Kia Sedona was traveling northbound on U.S.-301, FHP said.
At the intersection of the two roads, the woman turned left and into the path of the man's car. The 87-year-old then crashed into the woman's truck, FHP said.
The woman and man were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, but the 87-year-old later died at the hospital due to his injuries from the crash.

"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.
