Pasco County, FL (December 16, 2018) - A 60-year-old man is dead and two others are seriously hurt following a head-on crash on State Road 52. The crash happened around 5:53 pm on Friday, December 14th.
According to authorities, Gerald Leon Sellas was driving a 1999 Toyota RAV4 eastbound on SR 52. For unknown reasons, he crossed over the median into the westbound lanes. While in the westbound lanes, the RAV4 collided head-on with a 2015 Ford F150 driven by Dominic Valentino, 64. Valentino and his passenger, 63- year-old Denise Valentino, sustained serious injuries and were taken to Bayonet Point Medical Center.
Sellas was also taken to Bayonet Point where he was later pronounced dead due to his injuries. An investigation into the crash is still ongoing and it is unclear at this time if alcohol played a role in the collision.
