PLANT CITY, Fla. — Two men were killed Saturday in a head-on collision involving three vehicles on State Road 39 in Plant City.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a Subaru SUV traveling south attempted to pass another vehicle south of East County Line Road and collided head-on with a northbound Chrysler minivan. The impact caused one or both vehicles to rotate and strike a Ford F-250 towing a horse trailer that was traveling behind the Subaru.

The drivers of the Subaru and the minivan, both adult males, died at the scene and at the hospital, respectively. The driver of the Ford, a 64-year-old Webster man, sustained minor injuries and was not transported. The crash remains under investigation.

CAR ACCIDENT STATISTICS

Car accidents happen all too often in the United States. According to the U.S. Transportation Department, the number of traffic deaths nationwide surged in the first nine months of 2021 to 31,720. The number was 12 percent higher than the same period in 2020 and the highest nine-month figure since 2006.

The bustling cities of Florida are a hotbed for possible car accidents. Highways such as the I-4, US-1, and I-10, are some of the deadliest roadways in Florida and unfortunately provide many opportunities for potentially serious car accidents.

Following the nationwide trend, Florida car accidents have also been on the rise. According to the Florida Highway Patrol and Motor Vehicles database, statewide fatalities from crashes were up nearly 10 percent from 3,332 fatalities in 2020 to 3,629 in 2021. It was also ranked third most dangerous state to drive in, according to a report by Uplift Legal Funding.

There are many different types of car accidents, but multi-vehicle accidents are one of them. When two or more cars come together, accidents like this happen all the time. You have a good chance that three vehicles will be hit when two vehicles hit each other.

A variety of factors caused these collisions. Distracted driving, speeding, driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, driving in bad weather, driving the wrong way, and failing to obey traffic laws are examples of dangerous behaviors.
