A Riverview man was killed Thursday night when his car was struck nearly head-on by a wrong-way driver on U.S. 41, troopers say.
Alcohol was a factor in the crash, they said.
At about 8 p.m., a 2005 Chevy Express driven by Jean Ann Petraits, 56, was traveling southbound in the northbound lanes of U.S. 41, north of Bayshore Road, according to a Florida Highway Patrol news release.
The Express struck a northbound 2001 Honda Odyssey nearly head-on, killing the driver, 32-year-old Rodney Keith Bell of Riverview.
Petraits, of Ruskin, was taken to Tampa General Hospital in critical condition. Charges are pending.
