Pasco County, FL (January 29, 2020) - Authorities have identified the victims from a crash that took place on State Road 52. The crash was reported on Monday, January 27th around 8:35 p.m.
According to reports, Jennifer Jayne Knotts, 33, was driving a 2006 Ford Fusion westbound on SR 52. Knotts failed to negotiate a curve and entered the eastbound lanes, striking a 2019 Honda Odyssey head-on. The driver of the Odyssey, 46-year-old Brenda Jean Lloyd was seriously hurt. Also injured were Lloyd's passengers, John D. Lloyd, 50, and two children, ages 10 and 12. All of the victims were taken to Tampa General Hospital. They are from San Antonio, TX.
