HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FL : Wrong-way driver causes multi-car crash on Friday, 28th July 2023

A wrong-way driver caused a major crash in Seffner early Friday morning that shut down I-4.

Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) said they were notified about the driver, Arda Sengun, 22, who was traveling east in the westbound inside lane of I-4 around 3:40 a.m. A mere five minutes later, the car crashed into a Mercedes sedan traveling west in the same lane.

A pickup truck traveling west in the center lane then braked in an attempt to avoid the crash but was rear-ended by a flatbed truck. As a result, the pickup rotated onto the outside shoulder, where it collided with a parked tractor-trailer.

The flatbed truck also overturned, which trapped the driver inside.
