Ruskin, FL (August 4, 2018) – A 31-year-old Ruskin woman lost her life in a semi-truck accident that happened yesterday on Valroy Road.
The incident took place at 8:25 a.m. when 56-year-old Mario Villanueva was driving a semi-truck south in the outside lane of the road and slowed down to turn right into 84 Lumber.
