Troopers from the Florida Highway Patrol responded to a two-vehicle collision last night in Polk County that resulted in the death of a driver.
According to the FHP report, at approximately 7:31 pm, a Honda CRV, driven by a 49-year-old Clermont man, was traveling southbound on SR-33.
At the same time, a tractor-trailer, driven by a 31-year-old Lake Alfred man, was traveling northbound on SR-33.
Near the intersection of Voyles Loop Road, the first vehicle attempted to pass slower traffic and entered the path of the second vehicle. As a result, the two vehicles collided nearly head-on and traveled to final rest along the outside, where the second vehicle struck a utility pole and guide wires.
The tractor-trailer driver was uninjured during the incident, while the first driver suffered fatal injuries at the scene of the crash.
The FHP did not release the names of the drivers involved in the collision.
