Last night, a toddler was killed and four others were injured when a rollover crash took place. A 1-year-old boy was killed in the Ruskin crash and four of his family members were in the vehicle at the time, who sustained injuries in the crash. The accident took place on Sunday evening, according to officials who were called to the scene to investigate.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office was called to respond. A family of five were in a vehicle at the time when they were involved in an accident and their vehicle overturned. The vehicle then flew into a ditch around 6:30 p.m. in the 3100 block of Double D Ranch Trail.
The 1-year-old was identified as Christopher Garcia. He died at the scene of the accident. The boy’s mother, father, and two other siblings were also in the vehicle at the time and now remain in stable condition at the hospital. There is an ongoing investigation into the matter.
In 2016, about 3,000 people died in fatal accidents across the state of Florida. Many more will become seriously injured in these catastrophic accidents that change lives.
