Fatal Multi-Vehicle Accident on SR-39 in Hillsborough County, FL on June 27, 2026

A fatal crash on SR-39 in Hillsborough County, FL, on June 27, 2026, killed two drivers and left a third person with minor injuries, according to authorities. The collision happened Saturday afternoon at about 12:25 p.m. just south of East County Line Road.

Investigators said the crash involved three vehicles: a Subaru SUV, a Chrysler minivan, and a Ford F250 pickup. The Subaru had been traveling south on SR-39 when, during an attempt to pass another vehicle that was not involved in the crash, it moved into the northbound lane.

The northbound Chrysler minivan was then struck by the Subaru in a head-on collision. After that impact, the involved vehicles rotated across the highway and one or both came into contact with the Ford F250, which had been traveling behind the Subaru. The pickup was towing a horse trailer at the time.

Both drivers in the initial collision suffered fatal injuries. The Subaru driver died at the scene, while the Chrysler minivan driver was taken to a hospital and later died. Authorities described both deceased drivers as adult males, and their names had not been released in the initial information.

The Ford F250 driver, identified only as a 64-year-old man from Webster, sustained minor injuries and was not transported to a hospital. Initial reports did not include details about traffic closures, citations, or any final determination about why the crash occurred.

The Florida Highway Patrol investigation remained ongoing after the wreck. In serious crashes like this, official crash reports, medical records, vehicle information, photos, and insurance correspondence may become important for families and injured people as they work to understand the timeline and what investigators confirm.
