A crash occurred on I-75 in Hillsborough County on March 31, 2025, around 11:26 AM, involving five vehicles. Florida Highway Patrol responded to the crash.
A tractor trailer, driven by a 55-year-old male from Ocala, FL, failed to slow down or stop in time for the vehicles ahead, which were either stopped or slowed in traffic. This led to a chain-reaction crash with the other vehicles in sequence.
The second driver, in a Nissan Maxima, a 62-year-old female from Lakeland, FL, suffered serious injuries and was transported to a hospital, while the other drivers—ranging in age from 28 to 68—were unharmed. The incident caused roadblocks, with portions of the interstate closed until 2:44 PM.
