Every year, wrong-way collisions happen for a variety of reasons. Sometimes this is due to the fact that drivers do not know where they are headed in unfamiliar areas. Other times, it is due to pure negligence.
A wrong-way driver contributed to a Plant City head-on collision that killed the driver. Plant City police were called to the scene around 11:50 p.m. and found a Volkswagen Passat with a deceased driver. The driver of a semi-truck claimed that the driver crossed northbound lanes and hit the semi-truck head-on. The man died at the scene. The man in the semi-truck, however, was not injured.
At this time, the crash is still being investigated. Officers are not yet sure why the driver was driving the wrong way. There were no other passengers in the vehicle at the time.
