WIMAUMA, Fla. — Five people died and one was seriously injured in a crash in Wimauma Sunday morning, according to the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP).
A Toyota Tacoma was traveling westbound on SR 674, while a Chevy Silverado was traveling eastbound on the same road.
A Chevy S-10 was traveling eastbound behind the Silverado. Just east of Balm Wimauma Road, for an unknown reason, the Tacoma entered the eastbound lanes and collided head-on with the Silverado.
The S-10, in an attempt to avoid a collision, steered left, rotated, and entered a ditch after debris from the first impact struck the pickup.
Both directions of SR 674 were closed for a few hours before reopening at 2 p.m.
