Two people were killed and two children were injured following a serious head-on crash Monday night on Blanton Road in Pasco County.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a Chrysler Pacifica driven by a 76-year-old Zephyrhills woman was traveling eastbound on Blanton Road when, for an unknown reason, the vehicle crossed into the westbound lane north of Platt Road. The minivan then collided nearly head-on with a Dodge Ram 2500 towing a utility trailer, driven by a 37-year-old Dade City man.
A 60-year-old woman from Newcomerstown, Ohio, who was a passenger in the Chrysler Pacifica, was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the Pacifica was transported to an area hospital, where she later died from her injuries.
The driver of the Dodge Ram and a 41-year-old Dade City woman who was also in the truck were not injured in the crash.
Two children who were traveling in the Dodge Ram — a 7-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl — both suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to a local hospital for treatment.
The crash remains under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol.
