TAMPA, FLa- A 25-year-old Tampa man was killed early Tuesday morning in a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 75.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the crash occurred around 6:00 a.m. on March 3, 2026, as a Dodge Ram 1500 was traveling northbound in the outside lane of I-75. Ahead of the pickup was a Chevy box truck driven by a 35-year-old Valrico man, also traveling northbound.
