CITRUS COUNTY, Fla. — A mother was killed and her children were injured in a crash between a dump truck and a minivan early Wednesday morning.
The Florida Highway Patrol said around 7:03 a.m., a 34-year-old man was driving the dump truck on West Homosassa Trail. The mother, 50, was driving east on Homosassa Trail in a Dodge minivan when the dump truck attempted to turn left, but entered the path of the minivan.
The dump truck then collided with the mini van, killing the mother. Her children who were in the car, a 16-year-old girl, 15-year-old girl and 12-year-old boy, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to local hospitals.
The dump truck's driver was uninjured.
While current owner Stu Sternberg hasn't said he's ready to sell the Tampa Bay Rays, two groups have emerged as potential buyers.
