Both were thrown out of a truck. Neither was wearing a seat belt.

PASCO COUNTY – A driver and his passenger died early Saturday (Jan. 23) when they were thrown from a truck that struck a utility pole, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Dead at the scene were Constandinos Chilimigras, 51, and Rebecca Eva Zehetner, also 51, both of Hudson. FHP troopers say Mr. Chilimigras was driving a 2003 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck south on Little Road near Poe Drive about 2:13 Saturday (Jan. 23) morning when the vehicle left the road and hit a utility pole. Both occupants were thrown from the truck and died at the scene. Neither was wearing a seat belt. It is unclear, the FHP said, why the truck left the road. Alcohol does not appear to be a factor.
