Troopers from the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) continue to investigate a fatal crash. The crash occurred in the southbound lanes of I-275 just west of the now closed 4th Street North exit ramp at approximately 4:08 p.m. on Tuesday, November 29, 2022.

Accoring to FHP, a 52 year-old male St. Petersburg resident was operating a van southbound on I-275, north of 4th Street near Milepost 31.
