Two separate fatal crashes were reported on Interstate 75 in Manatee County on Thursday night, leaving an 18-year-old woman and a 22-year-old man dead just hours apart.
Authorities said the first wreck happened when an 18-year-old Parrish woman was changing lanes on I-75 and lost control of her SUV. The vehicle struck a concrete barrier and overturned several times. Investigators said she was thrown from the SUV and died at the scene.
Later that night, a second deadly crash happened on the same interstate. According to authorities, a 22-year-old Bradenton man was driving north on I-75 when his car struck the rear of another vehicle. After the impact, his vehicle went off the road and hit a tree. He was also pronounced dead at the scene.
No additional injuries were detailed in the reports that were publicly available. Officials had not released further findings about what may have contributed to either crash, and both incidents remain under investigation.
