ODESSA, Fla. — Two drivers were taken to the hospital after a Range Rover crashed into a van in Odessa on Wednesday.
The Florida Highway Patrol said around 3:56 p.m., the Range Rover was traveling west on the private drive of 13589 SR-54, approaching Gunn Highway. At the intersection, the Range Rover then failed to yield while continuing across to Long Spur and crossed into the path of a Ford van traveling south.
The two vehicles collided, and the van came to a rest on the road. The Range Rover, however, struck a rock wall and a tree, which caused it to rotate and overturn. It finally collided with apartment air conditioning units at 1470 Long Spur.
Both drivers were minorly injured and taken to local hospitals.
'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.
