2 Injured In Fiery Dump Truck Crash In Hillsborough County

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FL — Two people were injured Saturday morning in a fiery crash involving a dump truck, according to Florida state police.

Authorities said a dump truck driven by a 54-year-old Tampa man was traveling westbound on the access road leading from US-301 to westbound Interstate 4 and US-92 around 9:20 a.m. when he lost control of the vehicle.

According to police, the truck then collided with a median divider wall, overturned and caught fire.

The impact with the wall propelled concrete into the path of another car, a Ford sedan driven by a 21-year-old Lake Mary man. The sedan struck the debris before coming to a stop on the highway shoulder.

Both drivers suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the crash. The driver of the dump truck was taken to an area hospital for treatment.
