PASCO COUNTY, FL – One driver was killed and another injured when their vehicles collided in Pasco County early Saturday morning, according to a WTSP report.
An investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol determined that a man was driving a Corvette at a high rate of speed on westbound State Road 54 at about 3 a.m. when he lost control on a curve east of Starkey Boulevard. The Corvette went across the center median, rotated, and entered the path of an eastbound Mercedes C300, resulting in a collision. The impact caused the Corvette to catch fire.
The Corvette driver, a 23-year-old man from Port Richey, died at the scene. The other driver, a 43-year-old Hudson man, was hospitalized with serious injuries.
The FHP is investigating the cause of the wreck.
