Lutz Man Dead After Car Crashes into House

LUTZ, FL — A 26-year-old Lutz man is dead following a single-vehicle accident that ended in the backyard of a home on Sandy Shores Drive early Thursday morning.

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, Maxwell Trent Holloway was heading west on Lutz Lake Fern Road around 2:28 a.m. Oct. 27. As Holloway drove his 2008 black Dodge Charger east of Heritage Harbor Parkway, deputies say he failed to negotiate a curve.

Holloway’s vehicle ran off the road, moved in a northwest direction and struck a utility pole. The Charger kept moving northwest after hitting the pole. Deputies say the car drove through a ditch, struck several trees and then hit the outside of a home in the 4000 block of Sandy Shores Drive. The vehicle overturned and ended up on its roof in the home’s backyard, an email from the sheriff’s office said.

Holloway was pronounced dead at the scene. No one in the home was injured, deputies say.

No further information is being released at this time.
