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.
A Hardee County grandmother is on trial this week for leaving her 7-month-old granddaughter in a hot car where the baby died —the second grandchild to die under Tracey Nix's care. ABC Action News I-Team Reporter Kylie McGivern sat down with Kaila Nix just days ahead of her mother's trial for aggravated manslaughter.
