George ‘Jeremy’ Durden 29, killed, Kasie Marie Durden 27, in critical condition after their pickup leaves roadway at high rate of speed and rolls over in median several times.
Driver killed, passenger injured in single-vehicle crash.
A 29-year-old Plant City man died early Saturday morning from injuries sustained in a single-vehicle crash on Interstate 4 in Hillsborough County.
George ‘Jeremy’ Durden was pronounced dead at the scene at approximately 12:15 a.m. A passenger in his vehicle – 27-year-old Kasie Marie Durden – was transported to Lakeland Regional Medical Center with serious injuries.
She is listed in critical condition.
According to a Florida Highway Patrol report Durden was traveling west approaching the McIntosh Rd. exit when he lost control of his 2009 Ford F-250 pick-up truck. The vehicle veered off the roadway and turned over several times in the median of the roadway.
Investigators say the truck was traveling at a high rate of speed at the time of the crash.
Both occupants – who were not wearing seatbelts – were ejected from the vehicle. It is not yet known if alcohol played a factor in the incident and no charges have been filed.
