HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY – A Mulberry man died Tuesday (April 30) of injuries he suffered in a wrong-way crash with a semi-tractor trailer on U.S. 301, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
Tyler Andrew White, 22, of Mulberry, died at Blake Medical Center where he was taken after the crash. Alcohol was not a factor in the crash. The other driver was not injured.
