According to Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), the accident occurred around 7:30 p.m. Thursday night at the corner of NE Waldo Road and NE 63rd Avenue, which is just north of Gainesville Regional Airport.
The Tampa man was driving north on Waldo Road in a Nissan sedan when a Ford sedan driving west on NE 63rd Avenue ran the stop sign.
“This caused the front of the Nissan to strike the left side of the Ford,” FHP reported.
The Tampa man, his 44-year-old female passenger from Gainesville, and the 29-year-old Gainesville man driving the Ford sedan were all taken to UF Health Shands Hospital. The Tampa man was pronounced dead, while his female passenger is listed in serious condition. The Gainesville man is listed in critical condition.
