Ruskin, FL (January 16, 2019) – A crash between a pickup truck and a car left one person dead and another hurt on in Ruskin. The crash took place on Tuesday, January 15th around 5:45 am.
According to authorities, a 2013 Nissan Altima was traveling southbound on US 41 when it suddenly veered into the oncoming travel lane. The Altima then collided with a 1999 Dodge Ram pickup driven by 59-year-old Herbert H. Beckum, Jr. The truck continued across the shoulder of the roadway before striking a guardrail and coming to rest and then catching fire.
The driver of the Altima, who has not been identified, was killed in the crash. Beckum was transported to South Bay Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
