Fedex Driver Killed in Crash Eastbound I-4 East of US-301
The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) is investigating a fatality crash on I-4 in Hillsborough County.
The crash occurred shortly before 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 22, 2018.
According to troopers, a Fedex truck suffered a left front tire blow out on I-4 east of US-301. The Fedex truck collided with a 2012 Chevy Volt before overturning into the median and striking a guardrail.
The 22 year-old male Fedex driver, Lazaro Villarreal-Santana of Tampa, died as a result of injuries in the crash. Neither the driver of the Volt nor her passenger were seriously injured and refused transport to the hospital.
Eastbound I-4 is closed except for the outside shoulder.
FHP reports that Villarreal-Santana was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.
Why cant people just take two seconds to put on a seat belt, he most likely would be alive now if he had. I also thought Fedex had a rule that drivers are to wear seat belts at all times driving.
