The Florida Highway Patrol says the deputy was not hurt during the incident.
A 25-year-old Riverview man is dead after he crashed into a marked Hillsborough County Sheriff’s car while a deputy was performing a traffic stop Saturday night, authorities say.
Just after 10 p.m., the man was heading northbound on U.S. 301 while the deputy’s Chevy Tahoe was on the opposite side of the road attempting a traffic stop on another car, the sheriff’s office said in a news release.
The deputy then conducted the traffic stop at the intersection of Ayersworth Glen Boulevard in Wimauma and the 25-year-old collided with the patrol car.
The deputy and paramedics with Hillsborough County Fire Rescue reportedly attempted life-saving measures on the man, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Florida Highway Patrol says the deputy was not hurt during the incident and had the lights of his patrol car on during the traffic stop.
The investigation of the crash remains ongoing.
