TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — An Alabama man died early Saturday morning after an explosive crash in Hillsborough County, troopers said.
The Florida Highway Patrol said at 2:43 a.m., a sedan driven by a 23-year-old Ruskin man crashed into the back of a gas tanker on US-41.
According to troopers, the tanker immediately exploded before crashing into a utility pole.
Meanwhile, the sedan veered off the highway and flipped after the impact, an FHP report said.
The tanker truck driver, a 49-year-old man from Montgomery, Alabama, died in the crash. Troopers said the Ruskin man survived but suffered serious injuries.
FHP troopers are looking for two drivers who they believe witnessed the crash. The drivers of the two Dodge Chargers shown in the video above are asked to contact FHP investigators by calling (813) 558-1800 or *FHP.
