Pasco County, FL (July 2, 2025) – A woman from Wesley Chapel has died following a two-vehicle crash on State Road 52 Wednesday afternoon, according to the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP).

The crash occurred around 1:54 PM near the 28000 block of SR-52, when a 37-year-old woman driving a Ford Explorer westbound on the highway attempted a U-turn. During the maneuver, her vehicle entered the path of an oncoming International cargo truck traveling eastbound, driven by a 51-year-old man from Orlando.
