Plant City, FL (January 18, 2026) – A tragic multi-vehicle crash on Friday night claimed the life of a 19-year-old Plant City man on State Road 39 in Hillsborough County, according to reports from the Florida Highway Patrol. The fatal collision occurred at approximately 9:05 p.m. on January 16, just south of Moriczville Lane.
Troopers said the crash involved three vehicles. A Chevy Silverado, driven by a 77-year-old woman from Plant City, was heading northbound on SR-39 with a Ford F-350, operated by a 32-year-old Plant City man, following behind. Meanwhile, a Nissan Versa driven by the 19-year-old victim was traveling southbound along the same stretch of road.
According to the investigation, the driver of the Silverado attempted to turn left into a private driveway, crossing into the path of the oncoming Nissan Versa. The Versa struck the Silverado, which rotated onto the west shoulder of the highway. The Nissan then spun into the northbound lanes and was struck by the approaching Ford F-350.
The young driver of the Nissan Versa sustained fatal injuries at the scene. The driver of the Silverado suffered minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital, while the driver of the F-350 was reportedly uninjured.
We extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the young man who lost his life in this heartbreaking crash.
