Hillsborough County, FL (June 28, 2019) - Two Hillsborough County Sheriff's deputies were hurt in a crash involving three cars on Friday, June 28th. The crash happened on US-301, near Ayersworth Glen Boulevard around 1:30 p.m.
According to initial reports, a Kia Sportage was traveling southbound on US-301 when it stopped in the roadway for unknown reasons. A Honda CRV traveling behind the Kia attempted to swerve to avoid a collision but instead struck the back of the vehicle. The Kia was then forced across the yellow line and into a Ford Taurus traveling northbound. The Taurus was occupied by a detective and deputy with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
The deputy and detective suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to Tampa General for treatment. The Kia driver was transported to St. Joseph's South, also with non-life-threatening injuries. The road remained closed for several hours before reopening around 6:00 p.m. No additional details are available at this time.
