After a wrong-way crash on State Road 60, one Lithia man and two Plant City women face serious injuries.
Three people are facing serious injuries after a wrong-way crash on State Road 60 Friday, Feb. 10.
James Edward Cissell, 75, of Lithia, was driving northbound on Turkey Creek Road just after 12 p.m. From Turkey Creek Road, Cissell turned left onto State Road 60 in the eastbound lanes, but drove westbound.
Cissell then traveled into the median and collided with a sign post. Continuing westbound, he sideswiped three other vehicles in his 1999 Dodge Ram.
East of Sydney Washer Road, Cissell then collided head-on with a 2015 Chevy Camaro, driven by Teresa Ann Flowers, 53, of Plant City.
Following the impact, Flowers' Camaro rotated and came to rest in the median. Cissell's car overturned and came to a stop outside the eastbound lane.
Flowers and her passenger, Conda Gail Griffith, 73, of Plant City, are facing serious injuries and were transported to Lakeland Regional Health.
Cissell, also facing serious injuries, was transported to Tampa General Hospital. According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, his crash is believed to be alcohol-related.
Cissell, Flowers and Griffith are all reported to have been wearing their seat belts at the time of the crash.
Updates will be made to this story as more information is released.
