Three people died as the result of a wrong-way crash on Interstate 75 on Thanksgiving night in Hillsborough County.
Justin B. Lakin, 21, of Bradenton, had been driving a 2012 Toyota Corolla at 10:02 p.m. and was heading northbound in the southbound center lane of I-75 just south of Gibsonton Drive at Exit 250, according to an accident report from the Florida Highway Patrol.
His vehicle collided head-on with a 2009 Ford Focus driven by Lashay D. Walters, 24, of Bradenton.
Lakin, Walters and 21-year-old Yvette R. Alexandre of Ruskin, who had been a passenger in Walters’ vehicle, were all transported to Tampa General Hospital where they all died of injuries suffered in the crash.
