Four killed, including two boys, in I-75 crash near Selmon Expressway in Hillsborough: FHP

TAMPA, Fla. - Four people, including a 12-year-old and 14-year-old, were killed in a crash on I-75 just north of the Selmon Expressway in Hillsborough County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. 

Troopers said two pickup trucks were involved, when one of them tried to change lanes, which caused the crash. The truck that tried to change lanes spun out and flipped into the grass median along I-75, causing all four people inside the truck to be thrown from the vehicle. 

According to FHP, a 36-year-old man, 34-year-old woman, a 14-year-old boy, and a 12-year-old boy – who are all from Clearwater – died from their injuries after the crash. 

The 14-year-old boy was in critical condition immediately following the crash, but died at an area hospital from his injuries early Thursday morning, according to FHP. 

The driver and two other passengers in the other pickup truck were not injured in the crash, authorities said. That pickup truck spun out and ended up in the emergency lane on the interstate. 

Deputies with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said they assisted troopers with the crash. The crash happened in the southbound lanes of I-75, and a view from traffic cameras in the area is showing major delays on both sides of the highway.
