SPRING HILL, FL : Spring Hill man arrested in hit-and-run crash that injured 2 crossing guards on Wednesday, 14th February 2024

Hernando County deputies have arrested a man they say was involved in a crash before striking two crossing guards on Wednesday afternoon and leaving the scene.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a tan Ford Focus was traveling south on Deltona Boulevard shortly before 4:30 p.m. at the same time, a red Cadillac CTS was heading west on Chase Street.

The driver of the Cadillac told investigators that he tried to cross Deltona Boulevard but had to stop in the center median because it wasn’t clear to continue directly across after he left the stop sign.

Once in the median, the driver stated that traffic came to a stop in the left lane, and another driver waved him on and though he had no clear view of the outside lane, he went through and collided with the left rear side of the tan Ford Focus, according to FHP.
