Pasco County, FL (April 28, 2019) - A man from Brooksville died after he was struck while standing on I-75 on Sunday, April 28th.
Authorities report that 23-year-old Quinten Perez was driving a Toyota Tacoma around 2:00 a.m. when he struck the center median in the northbound lanes of I-75. Perez's passenger, 21-year-old Weston Reynolds, was trapped in the vehicle following the initial crash. Perez went to assist Reynolds out of the car when he was struck by an oncoming Chevrolet Sonic.
Perez died at the crash scene, while Reynolds was taken to Bayonet Point Hospital with serious injuries. Alcohol was not involved in the accident. I-75 remained closed approximately five hours until later, reopening for traffic.
