Parrish Man Died Days After I-75 Crash With Tractor-Trailer Truck: FL Troopers

SUN CITY CENTER, FL — A Parrish man died Wednesday, days after a crash with a tractor-trailer truck that made an illegal U-turn on Interstate 75, Florida Highway Patrol said.

The crash happened Monday as northbound traffic moved slowly on the highway around 4:30 p.m. because of an unrelated vehicle fire near the Sun City Center exit.

The truck’s driver made an illegal U-turn to head south on I-75 at mile marker 235, near the Hillsborough and Manatee county line, FHP said.

The tractor-trailer drove into the path of a Toyota Corolla driven by the 28-year-old Parrish man and was hit by the car.

The car’s driver was brought to an area hospital with serious injuries and later died.

The truck’s driver, 45-year-old Julio Dones Rosa of Citrus Springs, was uninjured in the crash. Troopers arrested him, charging him with reckless driving involving serious injury.

Anyone who witnessed the collision is asked to contact Corporal Matthew Lee by calling *FHP (*347) or emailing him at MatthewLee@flhsmv.gov.
