A 25-year-old Tampa man died after he was thrown from his pickup truck and struck by a tractor-trailer on Interstate 75 in Hillsborough County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The man was driving a Dodge 1500 northbound when he rear-ended a Chevrolet box truck driven by a 35-year-old Valrico man, troopers said. The pickup overturned multiple times on impact, ejecting the driver into the center lanes.
A tractor-trailer driven by a 50-year-old Riverview man then struck him, the FHP said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The crash happened around 6 a.m. March 3. The highway patrol did not release the names of those involved.
