Pasco County, FL (October 14, 2018) A fiery, head-on crash caused multiple injuries in an accident in Pasco County on Sunday, October 14. The collision occurred around 9:50 p.m. and followed a police chase by Pasco deputies as they pursued 54-year-old Michael A. Blomberg of Land O’Lakes. Blomberg sustained catastrophic injuries in the accident and was transported to the Medical Center of Trinity where he later died from his injuries.
The driver of the other vehicle, 24-year-old Kirby N. Sober, was severely injured in the accident and was transferred to the Regional Medical Center. He remains in serious condition.
Blomberg was suspected of kidnapping and was driving a 2015 Chrysler westbound in the eastbound lanes of SR 54 before he collided with Sober’s vehicle. Sober had been driving a 2007 Chevrolet pickup truck eastbound.
After colliding head-on near Odessa Gardens Lane, the vehicles caught fire shortly before police arrived on the scene to administer care and transfer the wounded to nearby hospitals. An investigation into the accident is ongoing.
