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.
“We need to listen to the voice of the people, right?”
Last summer, the Florida Department of Environment Protection considered adding amenities like golf courses, pickleball courts, and hotels to state parks across the state. After public outcry, the plans were shelved, but the fight isn't over for some Florida residents.
