Troopers from the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) continue investigating a crash that occurred on Monday, April 15, 2024, at approximately 2:20 p.m.
Based on preliminary information, a 55-year-old Brandon man was operating a 2017 Infiniti Q60s, eastbound on the SR-618 Express lanes in the inside lane left his lane of travel, entering the westbound SR-618 entrance ramp, which was currently closed (eastbound express only right now) near MM14.
The driver lost control of the Infiniti, which went through the first barrier arm, sideswiped the concrete divider wall, and continued eastbound, with the driver not taking any evasive actions.
The Infiniti eventually collided with the main barrier arm, where it came to rest. According to FHP, the driver suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to an area hospital.
